I wasn't that bad off, p75 with 8 meg of ram.  I can remember hand 
editing the mode lines for my monitor and hoping the blue smoke didn't 
escape.

I can remember the first time I saw a Linux login prompt on that 
machine.  It was amazing.  I'd been doing Unix for a good 7-8 prior, 
but, a UNIX machine, right there on my desk.  Wow. :)
