That was probably one of the Tandy 1000s running a 286. Probably wasn't any more than 12MHz.

286 was a bit higher clock than that I thought?

Edit: I looked it up, and I was thinking of the 386, not the 286.

Highest clock 286 was 25MHz Highest clock 386 was 40MHz The solder iron runs at 108MHz

So my first computer had enough juice to dial in to the internet and run a bunch of programs, and your soldering iron needs more processing power than that?

The future is stupid.
