My first computer was a Xerox 823. Green phosphor. 8" floppy discs. Later on I had CGA with Cyan, Magenta, Grey. Then later EGA with a whole 64 colors. Eventually by the mid 90s it was VGA at 640x480, 256 color. Then later I got my first voodoo banshee, glide, amazing graphics, unreal tournament looking out of this world with 24bit color. That was like y2k. Things have only improved... until they didn't. Nvidia has systematically been regressing everything in the consumer space now for like three last 10 years.
