1st Online Experience?
#16
I think for me it would have been around 1989, and I recall buying from IBM. If I remember right, the processor choices were DX2/DX4. It was just a big old flat desktop with a floppy drive. I spared no expense on the monitor; I got this big heavy IBM CRT P17 I think it was, and I carefully attempted placement on this quite thick slab of a computer case while aiming for the stronger areas to avoid crushing it.


I used to hook TV boxes up to that monitor, and I remember the cable guy telling me that the monitor resolution was way better than what my TV had.

I think I was looking at Compuserve and AOL for internet at the time.
