Cappy Canucklehead · 06-09-2002, 04:41 AM

and is still making money from their websites? I have a Solar PC clone which was made on August 7. 1997, making its five year anniversary coming up in a couple of months. It has 166 megahertz with about 54 k of ram. Still using Windows 95, BTW.

qdtobbe · 06-09-2002, 04:43 AM

hehe i had a pentium 166 but changed in 2 years ago

Ted · 06-09-2002, 04:44 AM

when I started in this biz I had a P100 with 16mb of ram and a 2gb HD. when i replaced it I'd have been lucky to get $150 for it.

Kewl thing was that it was making me 2k a month

Cappy Canucklehead · 06-09-2002, 04:47 AM

Good replies but it looks as thought I still am using the oldest computer as ma one and only money maker.

Ted · 06-09-2002, 04:58 AM

So either you are making shit money or your tighter than a fish's ass ?

AdultWire · 06-09-2002, 05:02 AM

I've always wondered how tight.... nevermind.

I've still got a bunch of old pentiums and 486's that I use as development and test servers.. So I'm making money from them, but they're just slaves to my real machine...

JimmyReject · 06-09-2002, 07:53 AM

Am I meant to be impressed by how old your computer is.

If you make so much money go buy a new one, being cheap isn't a good quality.

Here is my computer.

Its an 100 Mhz abacus. Beat that!

spanky · 06-09-2002, 10:30 AM

it was a p120 for my headless freebsd gateway/firewall but I found a 200mhz cpu at a swap meet. I don't remember exactly when I got it; quite awhile ago. It cost over $1k when I got it... hehe, it's been a good little computer but it was happy to retire to being a gateway.

cheers

UnseenWorld · 06-09-2002, 10:44 AM

A few years ago, I had a P90 with 64Mb.

I only mention it because it was just a tad slower than any computer mentioned so far. (it's gone, so I can't claim it as the oldest).

Actually, my experience with desktops goes back to CP/M computers. I bet only a few of you guys remember having one of those!

wannabeapornstar · 06-09-2002, 10:47 AM

i can make money even with my mobile phone

Brown Bear · 06-09-2002, 10:52 AM

I had a computer that ran CP/M back in 1984. CP/M was a lot like DOS. The only thing I used that computer for was playing this Star Trek game on it. A rather expensive and useless toy that was.

Minte · 06-09-2002, 10:55 AM

i have a compaq 386-se w/4m ram(purchased in 1986)...that is still operational and is running a CNC turret punch..still using the original keyboard and monitor

FlyingIguana · 06-09-2002, 11:15 AM
