Name one thing from your childhood

I recall drooling over a 20 meg hard drive, could never afford it, that was high end equipment. Lol

Suffering with DOS, on a XT 286(?), and that was top of the range in 1986/7, trying to play PlanetFall, then my dad ran out of floppies and that was RIP for PlanetFall.
20 Meg was WOWo_O, and when I finally got my "upgrade", everyone started getting gigs;(, but we made it work, Word Star for thesis and publications, and general assignments with the dot matrix:nerd: - geeky stuff...

I remember the mincer that was attached to a wooden table in the kitchen. My Mom would buy meat from the butcher (there were no supermarkets in those days and I don't think you could buy mince either) and it was my job to run it through the mincer. I was always hungry (but not allowed to eat before supper because "then you won't eat your food") so as I was mincing I would pop bits of raw mince into my mouth. To this day I simply can not resist raw mince - so much so that I'll sometimes have a packet open on the car seat so that I can munch while driving home after shopping.

My very first computer was a Texas Instruments TI99/4A. But my first PC was a powerhouse : 2x 10MB Harddrive, NECV20 cpu @ just over 6Mhz, dual 360KB floppy drives, and 512KB RAM. A real beast of a machine

A friend of mine went Eland hunting and made about a quarter of it in wors. He tried with his modern electrical mincer but kept getting stuck at the slightest bit of a tendon. Went to fetch my moms old one and it still went through a quarter eland in under 2 hours without even getting blunt. Just a few stiff shoulders.
