I know it's hard to see, but brownie points to anyone that recognizes my mouse pad.

I always wanted a Zeos PC when I used to browse through computer shopper as a teenager

I have to thank my dad for really knowing his computer brands back in the day. We used to go and look at computer shops, which was a super fun thing for me as a young teen. My friends all thought that part of me was weird. š

Beautiful machine! My college machine was a Zeos 486DX33 (that 66 was the big poppa back then). It carried me 5-6 years before I got rid of it.
Zeos was a decent name back then and had some interesting machines and laptops. I feel like Gateway with their Cows just out branded them.

Thank you for the comment! As a kid, our family had all Zeos machines (3 in total.) They really were good computers. I remember being at my friends' houses and they all had Dell or Packer Bell (later on Gateway.) It seemed that all those computers had issues. When it was time for me to buy my own computer in college, I found out that Zeos no longer existed. Just recently I read that Zeos ended up selling their company to some random electronic company and they scrapped the brand.

That machine would have been king of the hill and a machine I only dreamt of back in the day!

It would be cool if you printed and framed the pic and put it on the wall above it.

Where did you get the flamingo fixture?

I got them from Amazon. There are a lot of different styles to choose from.

The pad triggered an old memory, King's Quest VI: Heir Today!

How I used to mess with After Dark, where I can create customized screensavers, then just let them run.
Kenohel@reddit
