I look back to the computers before my time - the PET's and such, and I think it'd be fun to play with them. Or maybe an old IRIX box.
But a 486?? That brings back too many memories of blue screens and waiting forever because we couldn't afford memory and was thus swapping to disk. Still too soon for me, I suppose.
- technothrasher 3y agoI went back and booted my old Indigo from back in the day, as well as an old Sun 3/80 recently. It wasn't as great as I expected it to be, and all the annoyances from when I used to do actual work on them came flooding back quickly. Nostalgia is a heck of a drug. I still reserve the PET as a perfect machine because 1) it's the first machine I really used as a kid, and 2) I haven't yet been foolish enough to try and go back to one in over 40 years now.
