I've got a lot of assorted toys for my computer like printer, scanner, nice surround sound setup, but my favorite toy is my Razer Boomslang 2000 mouse. Check out this beauty - http://www.razerzone.com/products It's an ultra precise mouse, I wouldn't give it up for any other kind of mouse, it's my baby, he he he.
4 megs of ram? My 8086 won't support such power..... but i got a new monchrome monitor... in green now so i can see a second color if i switch the monitors....
My new MFM Harddrive holds 10 megabytes of information!
Anyone else remember MFM drives?

Well, I wouldn't call most of them toys since most are necessary for the computer. Among the necessary items are scanner, printer & 100 MB zip drive. Among the toys would be speakers (which is off 95% of the time), mic (which is unplugged, who do I want to talk to anyway) & a ProPad 4 joystick (for playing games when I want a challenge).
Let's see:
Wacom digitizing tablet
dvd player
network hub
zip drive
and the most important accessory -
a chair that won't put blisters on my ass from sitting all day.

Internals are better unless you are using SCSI. With IDE externals you are limited to using parallel port or USB, which are limited to a maximum of 4X writing, which is very slow.
So unless you have a SCSI card, get an internal IDE CD-writer. The best, most reliable models are made by Plextor. www.plextor.com
They have a new 16X model out that I am buying this month!
Before all the file sharing software came around, I used to get all my songs through FTP sites. This is a very frustrating method, but it does work if you are patient. You can search FTP sites at www.audiogalaxy.com.
I haven't tried downloading any, as I just use dialup. You need a high speed connection to download those huge files. Keep in mind, that sort of thing is illegal, and the picture quality won't be very good on most of the downloads.
Now that I'm on the topic, does anyone know how sites like that one manage to stay open? I don't understand why they don't get busted, since they're obviously breaking the law.
After checking that link I just posted, it appears that only the top movie gallery link that says "ENTER MOVIES#1", is working. They've got Cast Away there though!
And I could Download Castaway using a CD Burner? Also, there was a posts on here that said that using a Dial Up isnt good for those large d/l's....right?

8086 eh? I started out with a PC Jr. Thing was upgraded to 512K, (from 256K) no hard drive. Paid $2500 for it back in the mid 1980's. I learned to program COBOL on that thing, had to swap the compiler floppy with the program floppy back and forth....
Actually sold that antique for $400 years later. LOL.
Toys? We have 2 computers networked together with a gateway router, both have cams, with some kick ASS Labtec speakers connected to it. Flatbed scanner, CDBurner, graphics tablet, and a Mr. Bill doll who I tie up and torture when things are not going well.
