I remember ordering a work PC with 256mb ram...and a 20gb hdd....
That would have been a machine from the future with them specs. lol
When I first started work with Macs (PowerPC's) back in 94' I was amazed as my work machine had 72mb ram in total. And ram sticks was super expensive back then!!!
A lot machines used to get stolen purely for the ram as it was so darn expensive! lol
If I remember right a 32mb stick was about £350-400 each.

I wasn't going that far back lol.
Gfx cards with 16mb ram and overclocking pentiums by altering jumpers on the mobo.
Hehe well I'm old and don't mind saying so
.I think Abit were the first motherboard makes back then to bring out jumperless motherboards, the good old days
.Getting back on topic I've been throwing some software at Win10,my System Mechanic is working fine so far,did a disk clean up and removed the old Windows,almost got 30GB back there.
System Ninja ,Glary's Utilities,I'm throwing that at Win10 and it's not even out of first gear .
I uninstalled winrar and reinstalled so it might be that but the rars coming down are being corrupted but was fine before in win 8.1 from same site. I think a reformat and fresh install of win 10 only might do the trick.

Don't you remember the cassette tapes that took 20 minutes to load and then it failed to load lol,ie on the Commodore 64.

What about them old green/black screen BBC computers with the 5 1/4" foppies. I remember them at school.

The BBC Micro?
My programming lecturer learned how to code on one of those. She used to love talking about it.
Halt and catch fire...watch it

Yeah...I'm probably jumping 6 months ahead
CPUs like a cartridgeExcept that you can can't edit, move or delete items through the interface.
It transferred over my existing Start Menu folder hierarchy but then splattered the new modern apps at the root level. So I have an alphabetic mixture of apps and structured shortcut folders, Neither one thing nor the other.
Sure I can launch stuff through search, but then why bother with a Start Menu at all?

Don't you remember punch cards and a hand punch?
Issues wtih WinRAR and Win 10?
Have a paid version of WinRAR and in the middle of doing a fresh install on the Ultrabook (Gaming rig can wait until the weekend)
If this is the case I will wait for a new version and just use 7 zip for now

Did you not know the trick with the precision screwdriver? Give the cassette head screw a quarter turn! I digress.
Solitaire sol.exe from XP does work in Windows 10...

20 minutes? That was fast. I remember most took 40 - 45 and getting really cheesed off when it happened.

I can't even download the ISO. With a 37mb fibre connection it's taken over an hour to get to just 10% complete. And this is the 4th time I've tried as it has so far failed saying 'something happened'.
