My First PC

it was 1994, see spec below;

486 SX 33Mhz (epson branded)
14" vga monitor (epson branded)
1.44 floppy drive
4MB RAM:shocked: (wow it's 4MB compared to my friends who had only 1MB)
ISA VGA card (can't remember the vga ram)
no hard drive (it's optional, had to use a bootable floppy to boot the pc)
no cd-rom (very expensive, couldn't afford)
no mouse (did not need one as it was dos operating system)
no sound (only the pc speaker)
keyboard
operating system was ms-dos 6.20 on floppy drive (upgraded later to 6.22)
cost Rs.1,05,000 :shocked:

after 1.5years i have upgraded the pc to following;
added mouse Rs. 600 (what an experience, no need to type commands again, clicking, double clicking, draging, dropping amazing man...):P
540MB Hard Drive Rs. 14,500 (what a happy chap i was):yes:
Installed windows 95 (as i remember from 23 floppies)
still no cd-rom
still no sound card

heard rumors about intel going to release a chip called "penitium" which is very good for playing games.
happy memories... ;)
