I forget when this was, some time in the mid 90's, I was offered a job teaching "computers". (Not programming, not even an OS, they still just called it "computers"). They gave me a little tour of the school and then into the computer room, and it was loaded up with the shittiest, slowest, most under-powered IBM XT Clones I had ever seen. This is way after the AT, 386 and 486's were out too because the Intel Pentium's had just come out about a year earlier. What a joke.

No way, I completely disagree. Modern tech is sick. It's super fast, super efficient, and borders on magic. We have more computer power in our phones than the Nasa Apollo missions had in giant rooms. We have touch sensitive screens, computer animation, Siri, Watson, Quantum computers, Robots on Mars, Space Telescopes, electric self-driving cars, GPS, and on and on and on.
That being said though, I would love to get my hands on one of those giant reel-to-reel data records we used to see in old Sci-Fi movies like this thing
To me this is retro-computer porn.
