Don't be. The first computer I remember growing up on was an IBM XT Which was only a few years old. That machine was so slow, it couldn't even play the games that came out just 2 years later. My dad had it sitting down in his basement.
Oh, and a few years after that, my dad got an Apple ][e and had a 20MB SCSI HDD with it, and had a Laser printer(!) for it. That machine rocked. We had Visicalc and AppleWorks as well as 4 floppy drives (2x Dual-Floppies labels 1,2 3,4 and stacked up) Sadly, my dad didn't splurge for the color screen. and since we had a black and white tv at the time, I didn't see any color screens in the house until the Performa 450 my mom got new was bought. After that, we traded in the color screen (I.e. threw out since the tuner went out) and got a brand-new 17" Color TV. A few years later (1997) We got a bose SRS 5.1 system and a 32" Sony Trinitron Color TV with Component/S-Video/Composite/Cable and then got cable internet folllowing that in 1999 and a new iMac blueberry (Went for the 333Mhz Model
)
Fond memories were on the Performa 450. playing games. even once dialed into the local library, chatted with people and also checked out a book (One of those "How Things Work" books) Man, those were rock'n times. I wish I could go back to that era. Of course, with cable-model speeds
