My first computer was an Acer Pentium 60mhz that I purchased in 1994. Most of that particular model sold were white, and looked like this. Mine however, was black. At the time, it was the only desktop on sale that wasn't white, and it really stuck out even among Acer's other models. They must have sold a bunch of them, because the Aspires that came out a year or so later were all dark colored. I really liked that old box. It looked mean, and had a fair amount of power for its day.

P60 in 94? You had a hotrod back then! ;)

I got mine in 94 as well but it was a Leading Edge 486sx 33mhz with a whopping 4MB ram and a 2x cd-rom that didnt fully eject. You literally had to pull the tray all the way out to pop in your cd!

Then i discovered computer shows a short while later and it was all downhill from there. I was hooked bad :D

You should have seen the look on my nerd friends' faces when they learned I had 8 whole mb of RAM. Who could possibly use that much? I was all set to buy a 486DX66 with 4mb like my buddy had, since I knew it would be able to play Doom in full resolution. But that black Acer really stood out. I couldn't help but up-sell myself. I think it may have been a couple hundred more. Well worth it.
