I remember that my first computer was an IBM Aptiva M486 from 1995. This model came with an Intel 486 processor (before the Pentium era), 4MB of RAM, and a 500MB hard drive. It was one of the first IBM models to come preloaded with Windows 95, since its predecessors offered the option of Windows 3.1 or OS/2 (IBM’s operating system back in the 90s).

I recall that this model was excellent for the games of the time, as it included a high‑quality video card and came with an 800×600 monitor. Like most computers back then, it was already equipped with a built‑in dial‑up modem and the Netscape browser—which felt like the ultimate tool in those days.
