I love the names and branding of that era. Technology today is far more advanced but it doesn’t have that same excitement for consumers.

The bar is a lot lower- it was practically implied that you were already an enthusiast if it was in your awareness at that time I think.

I agree, but can't tell if it's the nostalgia speaking. Like, I just went and tried to figure exactly what model of PowerMac my Voodoo card was plugged into, and just got a dangerous rush of nostalgia for model names like "PowerPC 8600" - which is an objectively very boring name but I think it meant something profound to me at one point in my life.
