> But, the early 80s was a fast changing time for tech where new and much more powerful hardware was coming out almost every day. This. It was an amazing time. Like, it was a trip to read the ads in the monthly computer magazines. There would be several each month that would be something I never even dreamed of doing with a computer. Groundbreaking advances every month, over and over. That feeling - that revolutionary advances were being made all the time - was amazing while it lasted. While it lasted. A lot of people may want to feel that again. But I think you can't go home again. From the vantage point of 40 years of (slower) advances later, those things look pretty primitive. It won't feel the same.
