     I ran the Windows "Chicago" Beta (Windows 95 Beta Release) on a 486dx2/66. I'm that old.

     I had an AT&T 6300 when I was in grade school. It was an 8086 with a 10mb HDD. 😏

     Good morning! 😎 🍹
     
     I didn't get a computer until 1992, when I just began my thirties.
     
     It was a Gateway computer (remember the cow boxes it came in?) that had 32 mb drive.
     
     It ran Windows 3.1 (?)
     
     Ahh, the Message Board days...

     Prodigy. BBSes. I eventually found a local guy who ran an 8 line unix build that had a legit connection to the internet. Then it was telnet and irc.

     While I didn't own my own PC until after high school (it was a graduation present) the first computer I used ran MS-DOS (later Win 3.x) and had 4mb RAM.
