LOL the computer monitor: “You are a bitch!” :(

Ahhh, the Internet lol.


My parents used to say I was gonna regret being in front of my computer so often during my childhood. Looking back, I don’t regret at all, it was great. 

Downloading songs on Shareaza, chatting on MSN Messenger, playing games off of CD-ROMs… 



I love the IBM PC keyboard.

And the two buttons screen is the text monochrome, the color one had 3 front buttons.


Same coming from someone who had no computer as a child in the 2000’s because we were too broke.


To imagine an IBM 5150 Personal Computer with 5151 monochrome display running a GUI operating system with desktop. Preposterous!


Ooh yeah, that’s going on my website

Literally me since the first time I used a computer. Unfortunately (almost) anything you do for a living becomes a chore even on the best days.

Which is why I haven’t and won’t work in IT, Tech, Game development etc. Got several friends who are indie/AA game devs and they all say that they’ve lost a lot of their interest in gaming as a hobby.


That may be true, but if you want to get good at something, you need lots of exposure. To live a blue collar life and have enough free time to get good at programming, was not achievable for me. Also,blue collar jobs pay shit and they aren’t fun. Now I’m a programmer, still not getting payed well, and I’m much more stressed, but at least I’m having fun (for now).

Good likeness, it was immediately recognizable.

Could be a 5150 too, IIRC they use the same case. If you could see if there’s a hard drive on the front, it would confirm it being a 5160 XT.




The computer called me a bitch. Euphoria!
