I went back to uni last year/this year to study and some of the remeniscing other students did made me feel old. They'd talk all nostalgic, laughing at how low spec thier earliest machines where, and to me the systems they mentioned seemed more new than old. Talk of things like nintendo64 and playstations as though they where relics, and laughing at the fact they used things like p3's @ only 500mhz with only 128 meg ram, 8 meg voodoo3 cards and so on.... what I found strange though was when I mentioned the specs of my earliest computers (tandy coco1, 0.8mhz/16KB ram and so on) they'd just look at me blankly, not being able to comprehend and assuming I was making it up 'cos computers where obviously never that slow/low spec and so on
They actually wouldnt believe me that the Amiga had a 7mhz cpu and typically only 1/2-1 Meg RAM.
