    Super Mario Bros (NES) to Mario 64: 11 years.

    It was pretty wild growing up while Moore’s Law was full steam ahead.

    I can think of 3 different PCs I built and overclocked during college. Now, my everyday use computer is 8 years old and it’s still pretty dang good.

        I got a couple Dell Optiplex minis for $5, just dropped Bazzite on one to use as a HTPC/retro console emulator. Debating on what to use the other for, possibly a Home Assistant setup? Idk, but for that cheap I wasn’t gonna pass 'em up!
