This blows my mind. I remember begging my dad in 1999 to buy me a Voodoo 3 3000 and literally crying until he agreed. He wouldn’t let open the Compaq and install it myself, and so I walked him through the installation. It was a big upgrade from the ATI Rage Pro card we had.
All that so I could play Quake 3 with higher detail at 1024x768.
- smcl 5y agoHah, so from ATI Rage Pro to Voodoo 3 for Quake 3 (and UT) - that means we had exactly the same upgrade path :D

I knew a ton about computers relative to my whole family, yet they never trusted me with it and in fact often blamed me when stuff went wrong. My favorite was my grandpa saying I overloaded his computer by playing Starcraft after he had to get it replaced 6 months after I visited.
