Speaking of waiting for hours... This was from my time as a 3D Studio freelancer. Took 7-8 hours to render this one with a 486.

Been a long time since I thought about Accu Render. The good times of waiting for hours to see a single still image ☕

My first CAD drawing. Drew it in front of the entire office at my interview. What was your first drawing?

Were you a Northgate, Gateway 2k, or Micron person? I've owned them all and still have a soft spot for Northgate. Those cases were classic.
