Yep. In 91 I had a 286 which couldn't do multitasking or interesting graphics. Compared to the amiga, which had multitasking, high quality graphics, and genlock... By 94 I had a 486/66 with 4MB RAM running TAMU Linux (and Windows 3.1 I guess) basically so I had access to g++ and emacs (having no money for "Turbo C++" on Windows). It was too slow, so I upgraded the RAM (spending close to $1K upgrading to the max, 32MB). Much of my career rests on what I learned about Linux on that machine.
