Lydie.cc — Retro Computing

I'm an elder millennial. I grew up with IBM PCs thanks to my grandfather being an IBMer. My favorite hobby to this day, and I'm 43 y/o, is 80s and 90s PCs. If I ever write a book, it'll be on my IBM XT !

where it all started, I got this 486SX-33 Packard Bell for Christmas 1993

it's a tiny x86 PC that runs DOSBOX. In a pencil sharpener case. 3.5" screen !
