The original IBM PC used an 8088 at 4.77 MHz.

I think we had something like that in high school, together with green and (I think) orange monochromatic monitors, but I'm not 100% sure (it was either that + 286s@20MHz, or just the 286s

). Then, finally, at the end of the 2nd grade in 2001, they were replaced with 1GHz P IIIs (imagine the difference).

I loved those orange mono monitors running hercules and trying to play games or type a document on. I wish there was a way to make Windows look like that. And the Multitech line of PCs of the time, they were good looking IMO.

Seeing a Mac's inside is...interesting. Never liked them though, I was a ST man.
