14.4 modem

all for the low, low price of $3000 :p man, I used that thing until fall of 2000, though. upgraded the hard drive (to 20GB), ram (to 64MB), and modem (56K) along the way.

If you had a P133 it couldn't have been in the fall of 94. That would have been at least a year later, possibly the fall or winter of 95. In the fall of 94 the best you could get was a P90.

Got my first computer in 95. It was a Packard Bell.

P75
16MB RAM
1.2GB Hard Drive
4X CD-ROM
Some 1MB Built-in Video Card
14.4 modem/soundcard/fm tuner combo card.
15 inch Monitor

The only thing left of that machine is the floppy drive and monitor.
