If you think a 486 is sufficient for reading textual content and running a word processor and spreadsheet, you haven't been paying attention to software bloat.

If you think a 486 is sufficient for reading textual content and running a word processor and spreadsheet, you haven't been paying attention to software bloat. A 486 would have a hard time just booting a modern OS, never mind the application software.
- geofft 7y agoDig up a copy of WordPerfect 6 from somewhere, no need to boot a modern OS. (More to the point - the solution to software bloat isn't to get rid of security protections so that the bloat has room to grow.)
