Actually, that's a good analogy Mike. The Amish all have suitcases of money under their beds while the English farmers are in debt up to their ears.

I am much younger than everyone else I am sending this email to. In 1995 I only had extremely limited experience with any computer (from my high school days), and those computers were very primitive. I knew nothing about any computer hardware and usage standards from that time, neither did I currently understand what they were. That was until I read this article. After reading this article, I understand the HUGE difference in standards that have taken place from 1995 through today. I am sure that everyone who is reading this email had involvement with and owned computer equipment in 1995. I would like to know what type of computer equipment you owned in 1995 and how you used it. Was what you had then "top of the line"? How much did it cost? What did you use it for? Did you do much "hacking" with it to increase performance and to provide any other enhancements? What type of "add-ons" did you use? What operating system did you have on it? What type of intranet/Internet/online usage did you have? I would love to see all of you share your "testimonies" regarding this matter. Here is the original article. Read it first then let us know what you think: http://therelativelyinterestingblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/comparing-todays-computers-to-1995s.html Thanks everyone!
