The very first computer we had here at home had 256mb of RAM and a 20GB HDD and it was considered a very decent machine back then.

My first computer was an Atari 600XL with 16k of RAM and no storage (bought the tape recorder later with my paper route money). I knew a few guys who had Vic 20s and Timex Sinclairs that had only I think 4K. I think the BASIC programming kit for the Atari 2600 only had 4K as well.

I wish I could show my then-self an iPhone. <head explodes>

Star Control 2!

edit: And now that I tried looking into it, wasn't SimCity 2 actually SimCity 2000 aka. SC2k?

Yep, I must have got confused because they dropped the zeros when SC4 came out.

At the risk of sounding like a patronising tw@t: that's a good choice.

Not so much just purchased as just arrived in the mail. Took the damn thing long enough to get here. Fair warning for everyone, do not buy anything from China around Chinese New year unless you want it to be stuck in the mail for a month.

It's a lens adapter, for those who are confused, and it's technology because photons go through it. Fuck electrons and their sub-relativistic speeds.
