Great replies so far!
I'll just add that I meant 1981. By 1982, the IBM PC was introduced, with it's blazing fast 8088 processor and 48KB of memory.
JSM wrote that I should build my own PC. Ha! I have 5 PCs, and I built 3 of them (the other two are a laptop - I don't build laptops, and a 1995 vintage Micron with a screaming fast Pentium 133 and a whopping 256K of memory - which I use for word processing and spreadsheets). These three are all duo-core Intel processors with at least 2 GB of memory. The one I'm at right now is my music PC, connected to my stereo. I run Firefox as my browser on all of them.
The problem I see is advertising. Every now and then, I'll get a message to install a new version of Flash Player. F, I don't use it. The only F-ing thing that uses it is advertising! Ok, so we have to live with advertising, but does it have to be full-motion video?!!!
