Similar.

Except, I won a pentium (286?) machine running windows 3.11 in 1998 as a 13 year old from a top hat raffle (yes, a magician's type top hat). True story.

It had a flavor of BASIC (I don't remember which) and accompanying manual which changed my life.

Now, as a 30 year old Creative Director in the "new media" field, I hope there are similar parallels for the "youth", especially within the rural regions of where I grew up.

If anyone has the capacity and wish to assist, a long term goal of mine has always been to provide a space for adolescents from similar backgrounds to explore these notions through the lens of Computer Science and Art.

    pentium (286?)

What is the question here exactly, if a pentium is the same as a 286? They are vastly different processors with 3 generations between them and easily a ~100x typical performance difference.
