128M is sick? It's not just an OS, it's an OS plus who knows what.
You might as well rail about the price of electricity... a newer
computer probably sucks less juice than a classic. Which do you
want to run all day?
IMHO the only classics that would use more power would be the VAXs etc.
C64s, Apple IIs, Atari 2600s would take a lot less power then a PC with
128 MB RAM, PIII-500, hard drives, CD-Writers, 3D graphics card (with its
own cooling fan and 64 MB RAM)...
