Same machine, investment was so big that my dad had to ask for a payroll advance from his boss, given I was struggling with Pascal (and my then computer was a Vic20). Turns out the boss had studied in the same college I was in, his answer was: "Whatever your kid need".

And that's how I got my hands on a 386sx. Around 1992 I installed Xenix and became a Unix nerd.

I love you, dad.
