August 11, 1998 - I just took delivery of my Gateway computer with a Pentium II 450, 256MB RAM, and 10GB hard drive. This was the computer I would take with me to college 6 weeks later. The first data to pass through my 56k modem was an MP3 of Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight, found in an AOL chatroom.
