I was looking through an old programming book from the 90s and found something wild
I found a used copy of 'Learn C in 21 Days' from 1995 at a library sale. The back cover said you needed a computer with a 486 processor and 8 MB of RAM to run the code examples. It just hit me how much easier it is now to start, when any cheap laptop can handle it. Has anyone else come across old tech specs that made you appreciate how things have changed?

Honestly, that used to sound like a lot of power back then.

Remember when a 1GB hard drive felt huge? Now that's a single phone photo. My first computer had 256MB of RAM and we thought it could do anything. It's wild how fast our idea of "a lot" changes.
