Being poor in a poor country I had an Cyrix 486SLC from around 2017 until 2000. Even if it had 486 in the name, it was just a faster 386SX.
Beside having fun programming mostly under DOS and exploring any kind of software I could get my hand on (getting my hands on meant going to computer lab at school or Uni and copying stuff to floppy disks), I've tried installing Windows 95 on it, but was kind of slow so I reverted to DOS. The slowness could be in part due to me trying to compress everything with Drivespace, because the HDD was tiny.
