I got my own PC when the floppies were slowly replaced by cd's. I remember the big bendable floppies from our Commodore 64. We still have two C64, it's been a while but I might just hook it up again to see if the games still work (my favorites: David's Midnight Magic Pinball and Son of the Blagger).
I saw another computer store that had a great PC on sale with more memory and an extra HD for less than the custom computer I had in mind at a local computer shop. It has a different graphic card so I need to do some research if it's about the same as the one I wanted. Hopefully they'll still have it (or an upgraded version for the same price) at the end of August/early September. I only have to mail them to ask if the the casing doesn't light up like a Christmas tree.
