As technology marches on, some people get trapped using decades-old software and devices. Here's a look inside the strange, stubborn world of obsolete Windows machines.

    Luxury. All I had was a 186.

      I’m one of the lucky ones with an 8086 that clearly saw the downgrade to 186.

      AMD only just recently passed that with their 9000 series CPUs and Intel has only had better ones for a bit longer.
