I'm not talking about the technical limits... I'm talking about the
mindset. I don't care if a p-120 is faster... most people new to the
computer world are so unbelievably spoiled, they don't know it's fast.
They laugh at older machines, because they do not understand how magical
computers once were.
I can't stand "personal computers"... I LOVE "home computers" (which
unfortunatly is a thing of the past)

uh, I know that.
