Oh wow, great pic. On a BestBuy computer boasting both a CD-ROM *and* a
3.5" floppy disk drive.

I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia.  Probably a Pentium II or III.  My first
computer was a Pentium III 550 Mhz with 128MB of RAM, which was an
upgrade from the base 64MB.  About the size of your average webpage,
these days, sadly.

Isn't it true some tweets are megabytes of data?
