CPUs in the 90s were amazing! They were over-specced for "everyday tasks." Our problem is that we overbuilt CPUs too much, so software is now written with ten unnecessary layers of abstraction because there's no real reason to simplify.
3gb of ram aren't enough everyday tasks at any sane resolution. That we still don't have 1200 ppi desktop monitors is as stupid as using black and white screens in 2000.
1200ppi! The Apple Studio Display is 218ppi and it's amazingly sharp. What do you need 1200ppi for?
To match the print quality from the 19th century.
