What you are seeing in the link is basically just a NES based chinese console. I used to play Mario on that console, but my sister was better than me at gaming. A few years later, i got my first ever PC game: Motor Cross Madness. It was one Helluva game, had so much fun playing it.I used to play it on my cousins PC. Which had windows 98 on it. She abandoned it for a laptop and i took the pc from her about 3 months later. Then my father bought me Knight Rider one day. I tried to run it on my cousins PC but it would refuse to run. Turns out, i was trying to use a 32 bit application on a 16 bit PC, which mwant incompatibility. Then in 2007, my father bought me a PentiumD based PC, and i played knight rider for a long time. Then i got a Core2Duo E7500 based PC just 2 years back and then replaced it with a Core i5 based PC and here i am today Typing the story which you just Read.

 

So what about You??? Do you have any tech related stories to Share?????

I started out as a mac user and there are pics of me as a toddler carrying a old apple ibook(the blue clamshell one). I got a lot of old apple laptops. And somethings would mod them(like once i put a fan control switch under the keyboard on a ibook G4. I saw the neighbors were sellinng there old copmuter for 5 bucks and bought it and thats what started my pc using. I then slowly upgraded to the point where it is now with a xeon e3 and 7850.
