If you don't want to feel old, you can start by not using expressions like that

People who had to clear an entire room for it you mean?

Zapped into some documentary about space travel the other day - they had computers in the '60s the size of houses with less power than a modern pocket calculator

That is lot compared to 64K's of Commodore

 

[mikhail]

I had a Commodore 64, followed by a 286, then a 133MHz jobbie (a Pentium I think), and now I've a 1.6GHz machine. P3 or P4, I never take any notice.
