Packard Bell

Pole Barn Garage is a car channel I've been watching on YouTube for a few years. He posted this on FB today. My first 'PC' computer was a Packard Bell that looked a lot like this, from the same year. But instead of a CD drive in that top bay it had a 5.25" floppy drive. It was a 386SX with 4 MB memory, 120 MB HD, and 16 color VGA. Came with Windows 3.0 but Packard Bell sent us upgrade floppies for Windows 3.1. Originally it had DOS 5.0 or 5.1 but my older sister and brother-in-law sent me a copy of DOS 6.22.
