I almost want to blame it on how old I was in 2000, but it really was an exciting time for computing. A lot of things that weren't quite ready for prime time were finally ready. 3D games became playable, Windows graduated to a "real" OS when XP put NT in the home, chips were still getting faster... The internet was still being figured out and wouldn't really be ready until ~2005 with widespread broadband adoption. The other big thing that didn't happen until later was SSDs. |
