Saw this on FB. That 386 VGA was $2700 in 1989. That's basically over 7 grand in today's money. No wonder I had a trash-80 still in 1989!

That is quite amazing.

I am 90% sure that my dad's old Zeos x86 notebook is still in his basement somewhere. I used to play the hell out of Gorillas on that thing.

i was still rockin my atari 800xl until late '91 because of those prices

That BBS would probably still be around if only they could have spelled COMMODORE correctly

Ah yes, the days of BBS and "going online" for the first time. Actually became very close friends with the admin of a BBS I used a lot; local guy with 8 tower machines in one of his bedrooms, Novell network running on all of them...

My buddy ran a local BBS that was pretty popular - single line, running DESQview on his 386. Worked great.

I ran a Renegade BBS for a bit of time myself. Tradewars heavy!

I ran a nostalgia/telnet, CNet board for a few years in the 2000's. Started out to host Hack & Slash, the CNet/Amiga competitor to L.O.R.D., for my friends and I...but got it listed on usenet and took off until Dank Domain showed up
