Title: Company Man
Post by: Tomahawk on February 27, 2006, 07:17:00 PM
The company I work for kicks ass! My home computer used to suck ass as it only had like sixty-four (64) meg of ram (a buddy put it together for me for only like fifty bucks). Anyway, they gave me a Dell with a gig of memory and a kick ass video card (nvidia quadro).

Internet porn isn't going to know what hit it.

The fact that you joined the rest of America in getting a home PC is enough to throw a parade over.

The first non-Commodore 64 PC my parents bought was a 386SX with 40 megs of HD space.  BWAHAHA.  I played Mike Ditka football on it, but I had to boot through DOS to have enough memory for it.

We also used Prodigy to get on the internet.  BWAHAHAHA

My first computer was the Vic-20, the C-64's older brother.

What's EGA mode?

You're probably making fun of me, but I'm such a dumbass I don't even realize it. Carry on.

At least you're astute enough to figure out he was making fun, even if you don't get it at all.

Because I'm a nice guy:

EGA on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Graphics_Adapter)

QuoteThe EGA standard was made obsolete by the introduction of VGA by IBM in April 1987 with the PS/2 computer line.
