Yes back when they were pretty expensive still for a 20 year old. It was a old 386 DX with 1mb of Ram without the co-proccessor that they replaced with a 486 in their business. The 1 mb of ram was on a daughter card with many chips before EDO came out.
I was raised on Macs in high school and Apple IIc before that. I recall my first access to a computer was a Apple in grade 5. We had one in the class. I think only the principal knew how to use it then. He was troubleshooting my Basic assignment for me as I did more than change the color of the square. I made a snake that moved around the screen and changed colors with his help.
Later on a IBM was something we used in Graphics class while we did our Accounting classes in the Mac lab. This was backwards as Apple products were big in my district. The IBM lab was the exception. We had more Commodore 64s than IBMs but they were never used when I went there.
I eventually got the 386 with 1mb of ram on dial up internet with AOL. Can’t even imagine how slow it was then…
