Lots of focus on the hardware here but its form factor still exists in niches.
What has vanished, is our ability to do general-purpose computing at ~8MHz. Consider the computers you had in the 90s. Windows 3.11 and Office ran on a 286 but I sit here with 12 cores at ~4Ghz just to post this crumby comment.
We are spoilt. It really makes me yearn to do more with less.
