ha hot damn does this bring back memories. i worked at best buy during this era, with friends at the gateway store.

drivers were bitch, and they had troublesome restore disks. i remember a lot of nightmares over soundcard/modem combos that didnt seem to do either function well.

My first PC was actually a Packard Bell Legend 486. I believe it was the 18CD.
