For example, did you know ther is a way to overclock Floppy drives?

Yes there is, one of the reasons I went through so many of those things is its a no going back sort of deal

I mentioned the most commonly known version of over clocking. The P4 1.7ghz can be safely overclocked to 3.8ghz

3.8? Thats for Nansy Boys, A REAL overclock is a P1 166 at 933 MHTZ! BOYAH!

I've had a computer job for about 3.5 years now. Before then my primary interest in computers was to just to play games.

My first computer was a Ti-99/4a. It was actually a decent machine but they went the proprietary route. Needed a joystick? You had to use a TI joystick.
That got old quick and it was replaced by a C-64 when TI dropped the line.

After that I did not have another personal computer till I graduated from San Jose State. It was a Pentium 133 with Windows 95.

...a Packard Bell...? In 95...It finally died...last month.

Started with an Apple IIe, had numerous computers since.

The first computer in my house came back in 1997. However, the first one I used was a decade-old Apple II in elementary school. It was almost standard issue for Catholic schools at the time. Where I went for grades 4 and 5, in tohse 2 years, the computer lab went form all Apple IIs to all newer IBM computers with Windows 95.

I, like most others here, started with an Apple ][e in grade school (back in '87?). Let's see... moved on to a Tandy system (90% IBM clone; I forget the model), then a series of IBM compatibles up to the current system I have.

Damn, Oregon Trail has got to be the most well known Apple 2E game ever made. I loved the hunting bit, and running the river at the very end was always interesting.
