Sure, but also learn and use the tools available. Unless you’re saying having an apple IIe wasnt shiny.

I dont know when you went to school but at launch the IIe price was $1995 with a disk, controller and monitor which would have been $6450 last year

    Again... Not about the price or innovation. I assume that you're a student. So my suggestion is that you don't look at it as an awesome thing but as a tool to learn awesome things with.

    I'm an engineer. I don't look at a computer with any sort of impressive response. I use the computers I have at my disposal to their max capacity.

    For example, I have a 90+ core system with 200+ gb of ram specifically for finite element analysis using PrePoMax an open-source FEA program. No movies or entertainment games or anything to be impressed about. Just members in, numbers out. That's all there's to it.

    My other computer is much less impressive and its for CAD, presentations, documentation and research. I'm just saying, they're tools. It's not like having a sound at home that you can ride
