Looking at this, it's crazy that before this I was in computer stores in the early 90s, and the early 80s, and even the late 70s (though most of those weren't totally dedicated to computers). Old now.

@governa Ooh. I'd love to take one of those Gateways home. I can hear The Sims music already.

@governa buy it exactly as it is, don't move a thing and make it a museum!

Huhu, it's shivering me. Lotus 1.2.3 on the shelf. Was preinstalled on my first PC mid1990's. Forgot all about its existence.

@governa I'm sure, there are some Zombies around...😨

@governa I'd push that further back than early 2000s - that Gateway logo wasn't used after 1998, and the prominent displays of things like ProAudioSpectrum 16 and Windows Sound System cards plus the look of the machines makes me think it easily pre-dates Windows 95.Hardly a CD-ROM in sight!

@governa Seems they sold outdated stuff back then. 5,25" were already vintage mid 1990s... 🤪

I bet when anyone would reopen the store and start selling this NOS, it would go for much more than ever before
