I kind of wish I had my 1990 beige box, even though it was a hunk of junk even for the time.

- timonoko 5y agoIt was the worst of times. You needed at least 50 Mhz to play MP3-files. Only rich people could afford that. And couple of years later you wanted to play DIVX-files and you needed 300 Mhz.
- FullyFunctional 5y agoMy recollection doesn't agree with you. It was a stretch for a 300 MHz Celeron to play an MP2 (not even MP3) - I was an early adopter as I hated all the analog degrading.
- NoGravitas 5y agoI later had a 486-66, and it would only play MP3 files if they were 64kbps or lower (or 128kbps mono).
