I never had a 486 but my dad did - first time i booted up the 120mhz when he was home i told him to boot his at the same time as mine was like lightening... (obvioulsy in retrospect it wasnt lol) so we booted up at the same time and i got mine booted, loaded COmmand & Conquer and got half way through the first mission before his made the tinkletinklebrrrinnng of logging onto windows.
I was dead chuffed with it!!
Anton, that light is much cooler than it looks - its shock sensative... adjustable sensativity with a dial on the back plugged into a pci slot - then any impact or vibrations ie music playing and the light pulses and changes colour and stuff depending on the settings on the back of the base unit - its fantastic!
my mates got a load of those shock sensitive blue things in his car only ?2 each from gods kitchen i think. When its windy it looks like a disco goin off in the car :D
my dad first pc was a 086 :lol: and it was a laptop. HUGE thing it was. black and white as well.
My first pc was a 386 dx(i think)-33 mhz :D
my 1st pc was a BBC B micro computer
it had
32kb ram
and sumthing like a 16hz processor :D it ran mainly off tapes, or code if u coded sumthing to use it, pmsl

My very first computer was an atari 2600 - but not the modern black one, the old wooden effect one. Then i had antoher console which was absolutely astounding, but no idea what it was - dads alsatian chewed it up when she was about 6 months old. A driving game on that was used in nightrider as his tracking system :lol:
Next up was the classic Sinclair Spectrum 48k from my uncle which had rubber keys and everything - then i got rid of that and got a Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2, which I still own, along with the power pack, loads of games and software on cassettes and all in mint condition. THe keyboard keys even squeek as they did when they were brand new.
I then had an atari 520ste which had extra ram put in so it was in actual fact a 2080ste - twice the power of my mates 1040st which really annoyed him lol. Then it was an Amiga 500 which i added extra memory to to make it 2mb of memory. I then sold the amiga and the atari and got an Amiga 1500 with twin 3.5 inch floppy drives and a 26megabyte hard drive. WOW!!! All my games were installed and didnt need the floppies to run like on all those new fangled amiga 600 & 1200's my mates had.
I sold the 1500 to my mate when i was bought my first pc... and since then it's been PC's all the way except when i bought an Amiga 600 on ebay for about 6 quid a year ago so me and my mates could play some old classic games.
I have also had a megadrive2, a NES, a gameboy, a SNES, and an N64. (goldeneye rules!)
might get the spectrum out later and have a play with it for old times sake.
Commadore 64 with tape deck all the way. best computer ever
What console had the game KICKSTART, i think that was the Commadore 64

Was that not one of the franchise games? I had it on my Commodore C16+4 and remember seeing it for spectrums.
Dont know, its the only game i can remember because of the music and the graphics.

KickStart was available on pretty much every computer system you could buy.
My favorite computer i have ever owned i would have to say was the Amiga - doesnt matter which as they all played each others games and ran the same software anyway - although my personal favorite was my customised 500+ with its upgraded memory and resprayed lid ;) Black and red - it was ace! teh envy of all my mates. I also sprayed my mouse gold lol.
