Man, that Gateway brings back memories... I've had ine just like that, including speakers, and I used to play the shit out of Heroes of Might and Magic II and Sim City 2000 on it. I still have the HDD. I think I'll spin up a Win98 instance in VMWare and copy over my saved games there when the kids are asleep
My first computer was like the 1981 one, even had two floppy drives like that - it meant you could have your program disk in one and save your work in the orher. The monitor had orange type rather than the usual green. Fancy. I got it second hand in 1984.
Heh, the same here, but with the usual green screen. A few years later, I took out my old PC to replay my favourite - F-19 Stealth Fighter. Found, however, that my MS-DOS 5.25" floppy, which needed to be loaded in Drive A, didn't work. Here was my setup.
