Processors got obsolete pretty fast at that time, and while in 1996 (or maybe 1997) it would be hard to sell 486s, by 1995 I was still selling lots of AMD DX/4 machines for cost-conscious customers from my home business assembling PCs. Small companies mostly run DOS-based programs in applications like POS and accounting packages, and for those a 486 was more than enough. In fact, running Windows on those machines would bring no benefit and made loading Novell Netware drivers on conventional memory a bit tricky sometimes. I sold Pentiums at that time mostly to domestic consumers, with the occasional DX4/100 thrown in the mix. Once I got lucky and sold some 10 machines in a short period. SoundBlaster "multimedia kits" came in humongous boxes and for a few days, I barely had space to live in my bedroom. It was a fun time. Around that time I built a POS application for Windows using Delphi, in a time were most companies were using DOS-based solutions. I could have built a good business around this, but I was young, naive, had no experience or inclination with sales, and looked chronically even younger than I was. So, after some time I quit trying to run a business on software by myself. Sometimes I feel I should have been more persistent.
