Yeah I remember thinking I was hot sh!t with my 486 and 16 megs of ram on my 30 meg hard drive!
My kids, ages 1 and 3, still use my 23-year-old Apple IIe to learn . Old, slow, limited... and reliable.
My RAID-drive 2.2Ghz 512MB Athlon was recently compromised by a virus which actually destroyed the CPU! That's right - After a full reinstallation of Windows, the only way it will operate is with the CPU cache (Level 1?) turned OFF. Of course, it takes about 15 minutes just to boot. I had a backup, non-RAID drive which was also compromised. IOW, it's a worthless piece of sh!t.
