LOL. Those were the days. There was a time when I returned a 386sx in favour of a much more powerful 386, for a better experience playing Wing Commander! And now a cheap cellular phone has orders of magnitude more resources than any of those desktops.
I also still have my TRS-80 from the early 1980s. I was privileged; I had the expansion interface that increased the Level II machine's 16K RAM (yes, 16K) to a mighty 48K - and allowed floppy disks with over 300K storage! Awesome.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
