That was the first real computer I had back in 1995 when I was 5yrs old (a not sure if it was a 408CD but definitely a Packard Bell Legend, mine was 133mhz).

I remember dreaming about how could would it be to surf the internet.

I got the internet at home 9years later. 5years after that I finally dropped Windows to discover the power of Linux and the Unix-like distros.

Do you have any plans for this compy ?

[mastermind48451]

@LunaVorax At this time I have no plans, however that could change. Thanks for your comment.

Excellent video! I happen to be a Packard Bell collector. I've been interested in them ever since I got my first one at age 6 in December 1995 (which was sadly given away back in 2000). But now, I own about 5 Packard Bells, including one similar to this one. I have videos of them on my channel. But again, great video!

@Roadgeek My First Computer was also a Packard Bell. They were built like a brick shithouse....LMAO. Thanks for the comment
