    My IBM PS/1

    A wile back I mentioned how I found a PS/1 computer - I booted it up today . What a blast from the past Win 3.2 must of been the final rock solid version of the first windows . It's a fast computer for the tasks at hand pre loaded
    the 180 MB tape back up Works also . How far we have come ! I even am using the original monitor.
    I feel the scraping of old computers and parts will help create a value on some of these relics. They are fun to use and people will want to experiment with the oldies some day .To bad i did not have the insight to save my 286's and others .

    Oh - Actually we have a mis understanding " My Bad " When i stated PS/2
    I made a mistake I meant to say IBM PS /1 desk top computer with windows 3.2 with the Pentium pro chip type .
    That does look like a game my son would like though
