The idea of software being incompatible in two years had not yet occurred to anyone, and if it hadn't crapped out, odds are I would have used it for another couple of years. In 1986-87 I got another Macintosh because my old one crapped out. I won a graphics contest in third grade using LOGO. A few months later when my school got three Macintoshes, they were the "nice" computers and hardly any of the kids were allowed to use them except for me, because I already had one at home and I was a computer badass. I went right to school and told everyone, and I don't remember anyone being especially impressed. In 1985, I got the first Macintosh for Christmas. The first thing I did on it was write question-and-answer programs in BASIC to try to replicate the dialogue between boy and computer in Wargames. My first computer was an Apple IIe, in 1983.

Two or three years later, when it comes time to upgrade your computer, that tag or sticker may be long gone. When you go to a computer store and see all the bright shiny PCs laid out next to each other, most will have tags or stickers indicating the: What's in your computer? If you're like most of us, you can probably name the processor (Intel or AMD, Celeron or Pentium), maybe how much RAM it has, and maybe how big the hard drive is.

We added the latest portable version as it seems to have disappeared from the Piriform website. Speccy Portable is an advanced system information tool that can tell you about your processor, the amount of memory, video card, hard drive and more.
