  I actually just got my hands on an almost unused, perfect condition 5150. The original model, not one of the revisions. It&apos;s fascinating to use a PC like this, considering it came out more than a decade before I was born. Don&apos;t know if you&apos;ll see this, LGR, but you are probably one of the biggest reasons I got into collecting old computer stuff, and I&apos;ve got to thank you for it.

  As a guitar gear nerd and someone fascinated by old pcs, not only is the 5150 a cool computer, but the 5150 is a sick amplifier for hi gain rock!

  My father went back to school when I was in high school and we didn&apos;t have the money for a proper PC. My grandparents gave us their old 5150, and this is what I used for writing papers, because I was told a typewriter wasn&apos;t okay. <br><br>When was this?<br><br>1995 lol

  The era when you turned off the computer,it just turn off. No freaking loading then turn off.

  I had one of these and gave it away! &nbsp;I wanted to share my love for these things but the person I gave it to threw it away in the garbage. &nbsp;The person I gave it to said it was too slow--my point here is if you like these kinds of things (classic hardware), just be carefull of who you give it too as they may not see things the way you do. &nbsp;Just a heads up!

  Sometimes I regret throwing away old PC Hardware that I had, and Old really nice PC games from the windows 98 era.<br><br>I held on to some nice PCI cards, I might send you one in the future.

  The intro tune popped into my head just now for no reason and I had to find a video with it in. How bizarre (how bizarre).
