Funny that this thread is here. I actually browsed AT a few weeks back on this bad boy :

Burnt cigarette color looking horizontal case
Intel i486-SX-25Mhz Cpu
8MB 30-Pin 70ns SIMM Memory
248MB 5.25" Hard Drive SCSI Hard Drive (I think this was Micropolis, not sure)
3Com ISA 10Mbit Network Card
Tseng Labs ET4000 1MB ISA Video Card
GIANT IBM CLACKITY KEYBOARD! <3
Some horrible serial ball mouse
13" VGA Display
Netscape Navigator 3.04! (had to get at some oldos site)
Windows 3.11

Was not really usable in the end, the formatting looked all wrong and the 640x480 or whatever that monitor was made it incredibly frustrating to browse anything.

It was a client machine that I found in a closet full of similar trash, it was hilarious plugging it all in and seeing it work. I have a couple of pics on my work phone, I'll try to up them sometime, too funny. I should have downloaded doom or wolfenstein hah.

Tried mailing a letter I wrote to "ATOT" but it came back as an invalid mailing address.

2000 iMac. If I could get my hands on a serial modem (I think I just threw a bunch out a few months ago), I would hook up the Toshiba Express J-3100 SL that I've got. Battery's dead but it still boots up faithfully to DOS!

I was going to say "that's not old" but wow, 2000. I feel old now. I remember when those came out and it was so cool the way they looked.:awe:

My current system I built myself in college. It's an Athlon X2 system with 3.5GB of ram. Not THAT old, but... due for upgrade regardless. Most of my work happens on my server anyway, so I'd probably upgrade the server or add another node before the PC gets an upgrade.

Those will forever make me think of Ben Stiller.
