I can remember when I thought I was high rollin' because I had upgraded my Packard hell from 4 mb to 12 mb of ram and the 33 MHz processor up to 100mhz. Pretty sure that was 300 dollars worth of upgrades back then.

I took my parent's Packard Bell up to 4mb from 2mb for $200 and thought I was a p1mp!

My first computer meant for real computer work was a brand spankin' new Power Mac 5200. This is when Macs were cool. Not a lame hipster cool like it is now, definitely not a gaming cool, but that snobby, "my GUI is better than your GUI" cool. Well, I felt pretty badass with 75 mhz of processing, 8 glorious mb of ram and 500 mb of hard drive space. I tell you, the minute I learned how to modify resource forks in Resedit, I felt like I could take on Fisher Stevens in a "hack battle". Yep, this was right after the movie Hackers came out...... ::)
And us mac snobs couldn't had no need to upgrade our computers. We had Myst, hypercard, and our text program could talk to us. When our computer crashed, we told our windows using friends that at least our computer crashed in a cooler way. Anyone with a different computer could "suck it". :lol

My first emulator was made by Dave Spicer and it was Sparcade.
You cannot get better than that, even though his talents made MAME what it is today, his legacy still lives on in my 560 thinkpad.
