Well today is the back to the future day. The day that the movie Back to the future saw as the very distant future when it was released in 1985. So today I finally decided to clean up my act and donate to my friendly neighbourhood raddiwala my collection of Chip/Digit magazines starting from the Dec'99 issue.
That was one hell of a nostalgia trip
Lets start of with the configurations that Chip crowned as the best PCs in 2002. I think today my mobile can outperform both the winners, .....running together. Check out that 40GB Hard disk and 256MB (Woo hoo ... 256MB DDR, UT will love it) RAM and 56K modem (Phone bills be damned, I'll play multiplayer and all my friends will realize what a terror I am with a Flak cannon).

And here are the drool PCs from 1999. This was the stuff that most of us fantasized about. If only my dad was the owner of some big ass company I would've gotten that amazing new GeForce 3 card and the new 20GB Hard disk for my birthday (No more having to uninstall NFS 4 if I wanted to play Age of Empires)

Of course phones were starting to come in and there was this beauty that I was sure I wanted ... but dude it cost more than what I could get by selling a kidney (maybe both). 16MB of storage, I could've easily carried a playlist of 10 MP3 songs with me. Plus touchscreen.... with a stylus .... wow ... just wow

Well finally all that dusty work later and this is what i've taken out (Pikachu is not going to the raddiwala). Hope some chap is going to leaf through this stuff before they turn it into makeshift plates for vada pav
