not sure how to describe the feeling of not being able to find any information about my childhood computer. It was a "USA Flex 486 DX2 66". It was the machine I first used a BBS on (technically me and my friend tried to connect to a BBS from their commodore64 but it didn't work - though his mom got the phone bill for our attempts to connect to a BBS in hawaii!). Anyway every once in a while i think about that computer. It was the machine I used the first version of Netscape on (and wrote my first line of HTML and in the next version my first line of javascript). Thankfully I was exposed to macintosh at school which got me hooked on hypercard and drove me towards smalltalk/self eventually which is why I guess I'm torn nostalgia wise as the xerox parc shit is what really stuck with me. I have no desire to physically own that 486 ever again or to experience DOS and windows 3.11 - they did not spark joy even then. I still wish I could find pictures of the machine or at least the Ads. I do still own my original Sega Genesis. That DID spark joy.
