computer stuph
So, my dad was going through his drawers of random computer parts that we have built up over the years of buying, building, upgrading, and packratting. Check this out:
That's an Intel 8088 CPU, 4.77 MHz. We also found the 8087 math co-processor that accompanied it in the first PC we had in the house (an IBM XT clone, back when that term was still meaningful), before which we had had only a Commodore 64 and a VIC 20. What this boils down to is you are looking at part the guts of the computer I used in junior high and early high school. *shrugs*
PS. I am back home in the Bay area now. Work Tuesday. Ugh.
