      You decadent young whippersnappers have no idea.

      16kb of RAM, z80 CPU. That’s how we did it in my day.

      You don’t know you’re born.

        Hah ! I had 256 mathematicians perform very simple calculations, 128 horse riders then relayed the results to 512 stone engravers for storage

        You kids don’t know how easy you have it

      But did it have that sweet, sweet local bus goodness?

      Also if it is any consolation, 486DX266 was way after I got my first computer.

      My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.

      My first computer wasn’t a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.
