But how
much more processing power the newish PeeCee has? :)
[... compared to a QBus
PDP-11]
Several orders of magnitude, for sure. But the fun factor of the PDP-11 is several orders of
magnitude
higher then that of the PeeCee. :-)
Indeed. At least for this crowd.
If your fun factor for machines is based on how much DOOM they can
play, then probably not for you. Classiccmp is quite possibly the
wrong hobby for you in that case.
I'm not sure where I get the fun in playing with computers. I've
thought about that and come to not even tentative conclusions. But I
_am_ sure that merely being old and slow does not make a computer
system unfun for me.
