Should I upgrade yet? And which is the next version?
Should I get a floppy drive as well?
Internal or external?
3 1/4 or the big ones?
I have a 264 with 16MB ram and 64MB Hard drive.
I use my computer for tracking flies in my room.
I also have a Commodore, which works much better than this.
Sorry about all the the edits, it keeps crashing...

I think you should upgrade to FLEX and get a nice shiny 8" floppy drive.

8Kb of RAM should suffice...

In a world full of walls and fences.... do we still need Windows and Gates?
(not particularly appropriate here, but I happen to like it!)

The floppies were five and a quarter inch.... and indeed were floppy, hence the name. I used to have a twin floppy with no hard drive, early 80's.
Is your pc as up to date as mine was?
