Ah!

The other day I was trying to remember the brand of computer speakers that I had from the 90's that were so, so, so solid. Great sound (for computer speakers), and extremely robust. Dropped off the desk all the time and never had a problem.

Now to eBay to see if I can't find them.

My parents are still (about four computers later?) using the Gateway speakers that came with our 386 system. Built like a brick, internal amp, sound decent enough.

Gateway used to ship some pretty righteous hardware. The computer my parents bought back in the early 90's, for example, came with this keyboard:
