A friend of the family built it for us. I think it was ‘96 or so. I was maybe 13 or 14. I had used computers a little at school and at friends’ houses.
It was a pc clone that ran win95. Cyrix p166 cpu (which actually ran at 133 mhz), 16 mb of EDO RAM, 800ish MB hard drive, a 4x cd rom drive and a 33.6k modem. I loved that thing and learned everything I could about how it worked.
We didn’t have internet access at first, so I started dialing in to local BBSs. I eventually found a local board running wildcat that shared it’s ISDN internet connection to users. And I would download pornographic images and save them to floppy disks to sell at my all boys catholic high school.
