    I think your description of “bootleg CPUs” is spot on. I was even younger (pre-teen) than you in those days. Some of my first computing experiences were on a 486 running Windows 3.1 in 95 or so. I was waiting for my mother to finish work and I was allowed to mess around on the receptionist’s computer.

    I am just thinking it would be crazy to have say a bootleg Ryzen (or even Snapdragon) in our time.
