This is nostalgic (¬‿¬)
I recall my very first computer was an Intel Pentium I with 16MB of RAM and around 2.5GB of HDD. Nowadays, even the cheapest smartphone would outperform, by far, those machines.
- dhosek 2y agoMy first¹ computer was a 386DX with 1MB of RAM (which I quickly upgraded to 13MB as with 1MB, LaTeX compiled documents at 1 page per minute, but that was the plan all along—just trying to avoid the high cost of RAM from the computer vendor). ⸻ 1. Technically, my first computer was a 64K Spectravideo that I got as payment for writing some demo programs for the Chicago distributor of that system, but as it was pretty quickly orphaned, it’s easy to forget about.
