Computer speed over time [Was: Re: PDP-8/L value]

19 Jan 2010

...
   I am regularly
offered 2+GHz Pentium-4 machines because it has gotten
 around that I'm into "vintage computing".  Scary.  
 What kind of people offer such machines? 
They mean well. I get this a lot also, and I politely refuse. The only PCs
I keep are various 486s for DOS applications.

Now that Apple is also x86, there are no more interesting home computers,
just variations on a theme with the same basic internals.
