Let me start from the beginning:

Tandy 1000 EX with a 8088 4.77MHz processor and a whopping 256kb of memory.  It had a DS/DD 5.25" drive (that's 360KB for you young'uns out there).

Some generic 386SX/16 with 4MB RAM, 127MB hard drive, and a 5.25/3.5 floppy combo.  My brother installed DOS 6 on it, compressed the drive with DoubleSpace.  When I was about 8 years old, I managed to delete the compressed volume file, along with everything on the computer.

Some other-person-built 486/DX2 66MHz, with 16MB of memory.  I installed the 29-floppy-disk Windows 95 on here.  It was the best OS until WinXP.

Gateway Pentium II/350MHz, originally with 96MB of RAM and a 10GB hard drive, 2x DVD-ROM and a 6/2/2 CD burner.  Voodoo2 with 64MB VRAM.  Came with Windows 98, ran Win2k on there for a while.

Built my own mega-tower (what I use right now) Pentium 4 1.8GHz, 1GB DDR/333, 2x 60GB hard drives and 1x120GB hard drive, a 40/24/24 CD burner and an 8x/8x/4x DVD-burner-32x/32x/24x-CD-burner-combo.  Radeon 9700 128MB DDR.  Started with Win2k, moved to XP Professional.

HP Pavilion (Laptop) (some old model).  Athlon XP 1800+ running 500-1500MHz, 30GB hard drive, 512MB SDRAM.  15" screen, GeForce2Go 32MB shared video memory.  Came with XP Home, upgraded to Pro.

That was junked out for my new laptop, another HP Pavilion, a zd7000.  Pentium 4 running 2.66GHz, 60GB hard drive, 512MB DDR, mobile GeForce 4 64MB DDR (independent).  17" widescreen, with a numeric keypad.  :)  Came with Windows Media Center Edition, upgraded to Professional.

After 3 years, it's on the horizon.  The new JinxBot, and BN#, the managed Battle.net Client library.

Apparently at my friend's work they have an an ancient 486 (I assume it's running DOS) that has an uptime of 18 years.  Nobody's really sure what it does, but nobody really wants to turn it off just in case it's still doing its job :)
wow that power company is reliable lol. It ran for 18 years with no interuption.
WAR EAGLE!

attn all I got a new pc, a spare for a server. This lady had the power hit her house and she replaced the motherboard but needed to reformat but thought it was another hardware problem (and did not know) so she gave it to me thinking its all shot but the motherboard... it all works lol. She already bought a new one so I wont tell her.
