Title: awww cmon
Post by: Darkmolerman on July 13, 2009, 12:05:10 AM
Ok I had it coming getting a computer that has been sitting on a desk for a few years but this is just sad. I wanted a computer as backup and to download certain things... Well this computer is apparently 12-ish years old and it must have sucked back then to. the computer has 5 gigs of hard drive space (ok fine I was  going to use my external drive) The RAM is still in megabytes. The processor is around 234 megahertz (not even one gigahertz) and I can't get it started because I cannot find the on switch and it does not recognize USB as a "pointing device" or keyboard.

You know...if you can find an old copy of Winows 98 2nd edition floating around, you might be able to get it to boot.
