They were restricted by company policies, lack of internet, etc. I know a guy didn't know there were Tualatin Pentiums, he thought that intel jumped from Coppermine straight to P4 and Tualatin CPUs were but odd-ball Celerons meant to suck last remaingng $ from obsolete Socket370 platform. Guess why? They never bought a P3 Tully! Not to mention AMD, which corporate clients generally ignored.
Strangely, I have had some of the same people asking/commenting about/on hardware from the late 90's.
There was this guy, who did not know that V2 can be set up as SLI. He thought the connector was for testing purpouse only.
Yeah... A lot of people just use DosBox, because they want to play the game, and don't give a shit on the hardware.
Oh the horror, when I see people replying that "Why not just use DosBox" when I in reality are asking if they have hardware
that they do not use and are about to throw out. And well... Typically Danish... Always presuming more horsepower equals more joy.
People just do not understand the joy we get from old hardware (no matter what the reason are), and presume that emulation is the answer to all.
Don't try to understand me, just let me do my thing, is my typically answer to that.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
