Well the start of the '90s was still Amiga time, which was the biggest leap in home computing ever but that really happened in the 80's. Then it was followed by the dark ages of PC gaming catching up while people played on dumb consoles. Around when the Voodoo cards came along (1996?) things got really interesting again. Also about any keyboard that shipped was decent still, Silicon Graphics and Macs (even the beige ones) were really nice looking but expensive machines. Had a SCSI drive hooked up to a PowerBook 1400, that was pretty much as cool as having an external Thunderbolt SSD now. The ASUS P2B of course was amazingly stable for it's time, however if you had a dual Celeron 300A @450MHz you were really the king. Dial-up modems getting upgraded to T1 lines or cable modems. That was a huge speed boost. So yes the 90's were nice, but just no comparison to what happened between '77 and '87 (the year the Amiga 500 got introduced). |
