The only thing I don't like about iMac is its mouse and keyboard...
My computer is more powerful than yours!

You're thinking of the old iMacs. The newer ones come with a real, full size keyboard and a good optical mouse (rather than that hockey-puck piece of sh!t).
They still don't come with built-in floppy drives, though.

Hehehe...it was so significant back then.
Okay, here are all the computers in my house:
1:
286, around 468 kb RAM, less than 10 megs of hard drive space. I don't use this one. There's some porn stashed deep in the vectors of this old machine
2:
486, about 2 megs RAM, about 32 megs hard drive. Don't use it.
3:
P233, 48 meg RAM, 3 gig hard drive. I use this pitiful computer.
4:
P450, 64 meg RAM, 16 gig hard drive. My dad uses this "glamoruous" computer.

Some of you guys have these really super duper computers but the minimum requirments of Civ 2 is only:
Pentimum (Any speed)
16MB RAM
2x CD_ROM
