उत्तर
Michael and his dad were fascinated by computers that had got a Pentium 150 Mhz processor, with 256 of RAM, a 1.2 Gb hard disk drive and 16 speed CD ROM, complete with speakers, printer, modem and scanner, because it could do anything. Paint, play music, create displays; even when his homework was rubbish, it looked fantastic.
