The PC-XT was IBM's inaugural model with a whopping 128k of RAM and a 10 meg hard drive. Released in 1983. 300 baud modem was the way users would connect to a service like AOL or Yahoo, or some other mainframe or minicomputer. The whole point here was that it was dog slow by todays standards, but much faster than a calculator back then.

I remember when I started college my calculus teacher required the class to buy a Texas Instrument 83 (TI-83). The thing cost like 80 bucks at the time! Which to my poor [BLEEP] sounded extravagant. But it was the coolest calculator I'd ever seen.

I think that's what the servers are running on...

Shucks, the TI-55 was so advanced when I went to college it had its own course.
