Manawyrm on Nostr: Let's play a game: Post the oldest image of your "battle station" / computer setup ...
Let's play a game:
Post the oldest image of your "battle station" / computer setup that you have.
Ideally, post some specs of the system if you can remember.
I'll start:
- photo from 2003
- Pentium II, 350MHz
- 3DFX Voodoo Banshee
- 1024x768 17" Eizo CRT
- Iomega Zip drive, 100MB via Parallel port (*click!*)
- SCSI Scanner hidden away in the background
I think the Mac was a Power Macintosh 6300, but I'm not 100% sure.
What are yours? :)
