Anyone can buy a better machine now for less than the sales tax added to the price of that 486DX2. Upgrading the RAM to 8MB was a couple of hundred bucks, and replacing my burnt out 13" colour monitor cast about $350.
I do not miss those days...

my first pc was a P75 with 8MB of ram and an 800MB hard drive. for the OS it had windows 3.11. what a piece of shit os. haha I still have that 800MB hard drive and it actually still works. Of course, it's useless since it's only 800mb.
