      I got my first real Pentium

      Bought it at the local PC shop

      Played Rollercoaster Tycoon, CD-ROM straight from it's huge box, on it 'til my fingers bled

      Was the summer of '99

          As you probably guessed, I'm in IT and not in the fine arts ;-)

            Not a critique on your "fine arts", I attributed the struggle more to myself ;-)
