One day a coworker announced he had bought a PC with the new 80286 processor running at 10 MHz (an unheard of blistering speed).

That afternoon the entire Engineering Department went to his house to look at it.

    That was my first real computer. We had two games: where in the world is carmen Sandiego and kings quest 4 rosella's peril. There was not enough disk space to have both games (size 2 5.25 floppies each IIRC) installed at the same time. Then we got quest for glory. That was special.
