    Flat out wrong.

    Where we've been determines where we're going. "Those who don't pay attention to history are doomed to repeat it" and all that. Use that machine, so you can see why things developed the way they did - maybe you'll avoid some of the miskates made prior to you.

    That 33/66 you have contains half of the reasons things are the way they are now. Your new Athlon64 can run DOS, after all, just like the old stuff. Study the older machines, friend, they'll show you much about today's "new" technology.
