[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1189540, member: 56379"] Of course the list of things that we use computers for today is longer than it was in the late 80's/early 90's. But the basic things that people use computers for today: - e-mail (much more basic 20 years ago) - word processing - spreadsheets - psuedo-internet (pay for services like AOL, Compuserve, etc.) - music - photo editing - graphics - games - etc. ...were all things that we did with computers back then. Todays computers just do these things with more "bells, whistles, and eye-candy"! - Nick p.s. Believe it or not...computers in the last 20 years have not advanced as much as you think. The hardware has gotten a lot faster...and the software has gotten a lot more user friendly & feature "rich". But many of the "basic" things we use computers for today hasn't changed a lot from 1990.
