I have the same gigabytes of ram as that has megabytes and my graphics card nearly the same storage as the hard drive. Oof.
I used to have a PC like that, though, as an upgrade from an Amiga 1200. Amiga was a great gaming and coding machine, but struggled a bit for ‘office’ work and was more suited to bulletin boards than websites. A PC like that thing got me through university, though - able to do it all. I don’t remember the internet as being much worse, back then - more limited, but so much less shit on it. And if you get a list of the best RPGs of all time, it can probably run three-quarters of the list.
Yeah, I had a Sinclair spectrum, then a BBC B before I got my first PC (386, 33mhz!). The BBC was a cool machine, a great version of basic to learn on, and you could compile assembly on it too. The spectrum had better games though.
