Heh. Y'all remember Lincoln Logs in front of the family radio set? 🦗
laughs in IRC, magnetic disks, and a 486

1996 called: 2X Plextor SCSI-2 wide internal CDR with Caddy, 5 pack Ricoh 2X CDR and an Adaptec single port pci SCSI-2 card bundle for $599. What a deal to store all my porn!
My computer now is very close to that era of Dell.
I don't come here to be assaulted Pug 😤
