@OpenComputeDesign x86 was a mistake? :)
@OpenComputeDesign
16 bit was a mistake?
transistors were a mistake?
how modern are we talking? :)
16-bit/early-32-bit was my favorite era. (Basically, the #68k era ;)
Computers were just becoming capable, but not too big for their britches.
@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane I had a good time with my first amd athlon 64 but sure, simpler times :)
I think computers were honestly better when they were limited to absolutely no more than 1GB RAM, no more than 256 colors, and no more than 1024x768 screen resolution.
1GB RAM: no LLMs
256 colors: no horrid low-contrast soupy interfaces
XGA Resolution: no horrid empty spaces and bloated interfaces
I keep wanting to make that as an OS 😄
(If only I had the skillz)

Computers should have been magically capped at 1GB RAM.
That would've been utopian.
(What do you mean, "'utopic' isn't a word?!?" It should absolutely be a word!)
