What's funny, a user used to be a lamer if they had a computer older than the current generation or a modem slower than the fastest speeds the BBS could accept, but nowadays it's reversed: Nobody is impressed by your terabytes of disk space, hundreds of gigs of RAM, and dozens of processor cores at gigahertz speeds. You have to run some old piece of crap from the 1980's to really impress us! ;-)
