I owned a dual 66mhz back a few years ago. Hands down the coolest piece of computing hardware I've ever purchased. I regret selling it at least once a month. I will never find another one.

It still blows my mind how good the OS was. Could deadlock the entire system, but I'll be damned if your CD was going to stop playing perfectly. Not even a skip.

I did a lot of experiments writing C++ to lock up resources in an effort to try and crash the system. It was very hard to do. It was amazing to be banging on the system and my tunes were still humming away! It is funny to hear others say this too.
