I fondly remember my first 1990’s powerhouse system - a 486 DX 33. It even had a turbo button you could press to disable the math co-processor which was very useful when you ran DOS games. With it on you simply could not press the keys fast enough to keep your ostrich in the air when playing a game of Joust. I had tried Windows 2 and 3.x on it so when Windows 95 came out I never loaded it on my red boxed data rocket. It ran DOS and never crashed at all. It was never a problem. I could surf the Wildcat BBS’s, run DOOM, and crush Tetris. It was no Amiga but it was fun. Maybe the writers father wasn’t so adept with PC architecture as they remember.
