Yep. I think I had one but remember the excitment when the 486 came out.

Even at that, the hardware could not keep up with the software. Word in DOS was faster than the new Word in Windows. I kept wondering why anyone would want to switch.

Now I've got this Google Nexus 7 tablet and the dang thing is faster than my desktop computer. So fast that when I dictate in voice-to-text it keeps up word for word and gets very, very few words wrong.
