@lefebvre A Dell 486SX/33 tower. My parents thought that computers were a passing fad, and would never buy me one. They were profoundly disappointed that I would waste so much money when I saved up and bought one myself. You could just feel the disappointment and frustration oozing from their pores for weeks afterwards.

@TTFKA_Tay0 I remember seeing those. They were one of the computers my parents refused to get for me.

I think going IBM PC family paid off in the end.
