Wasn’t there a time when it was considered unfeasible that anyone would ever need more than a few kilobytes?

That’ll make a great Hackintosh!
if your distro of choice happens to be debian with openbox
I think we had this exact computer when I was growing up.
Yep I know my grandparents did. Played minesweeper and that cat mouse cheese and wine game like all day.
How many sales stickers can one machine have?
Manufacturer mandates a certain amount of flair.
no no no no, it’s not a mandate, it’s just that we encourage self expression here in the PC market. You do want to express yourself, right?
Someone remembers Office Space far better than I do! Lol
37 pieces of flair to be exact.
It’s in the contract that technically 15 would suffice, but who wants to be the company that only does the bare minimum?
antiX linux on a zip drive
What about Kolibri OS?
That thing is writtern in assembly.
Holy shit my grandfather had this exact PC up until ten years ago or so lol
My cousins has an eMonster PC and I thought that was just the most insanely powerful PC.
Most of people use computers just for memes and emails, so yea, it is never obsoluted.
How you gonna post memes on a machine that doesn’t support modern browser protocols? This thing can’t even load the Google home page or probably any Lemmy/kbin instance.
You don’t. You post animated gifs
I remember buying an eMachine on credit. It used crazy expensive RDRAM
In my experience neither computers nor women will accept a 3.5 inch floppy.
That’s why we called them stiffy drives. It’s the 5.25inch disks that were floppy.
5.25 inches floppy, but 3.5 inches when hard. Hmm 🤔
What’s the problem here? That unit will do all your floppy disc needs until the end of time
This PC has the clocks and it rocks, but it was obsolete before you opened the box.
It’s all about the pentiums baby
It will still run Windows 98 just fine.
My emachines etower 566 is my daily driver, am i my alone here? It’s current year, and this thing is still not obsolete.
I wonder if it’s possible to get a bunch of these, daisy chain the processors, and span hard drives until it can install and run Monster Hunter World.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.
I doubt enough of these exist to make an adequate E-Machine supercomputer
