What kind of home computer did you and your family use? How powerful was it? What kind of programs did you run?
My family's first computer was an Amiga 500. I used to play Capone and F/A-18 Interceptor on it. My parents never used it for work.
It had a 7MHz CPU, 512kb of RAM, and no hard disk. Every program had to be loaded from a floppy disk.
It ran on a proprietary operating system called AmigaOS, also loaded from a floppy disk each time.

My family's first computer was a packard bell 386 computer. There was a physical lock on the computer that prevented it from being turned on which I tore through with a knife trying to "pick" it because I wanted to play Monopoly on it
It was my introduction to the internet, I would use Netscape navigator on it, before then America Online demo disks, before that was prodigy. Any of y'all neighbors remember prodigy?
Also played duke nukem 3d just fine. Back then there was no wasd + mouse combo, it was awkward arrow keys + ctrl and alt and shift and page up/down to look up and down

With every neighbor using "Password123" as his password, that kind of tech needs to make a comeback.
