Consider getting a modern Pixel w/GrapheneOS!

It has the Vanadium.

Had something that was an Apple II or IBM clone....ran floppy floppies.

I couldn't even save my documents, as I had no spare floppies and my parents didn't understand we need blank ones as media lol.

Yet they were able to record TV to blank VHS's....

But I learned BASIC on it. And played Garfield and Spiderman and Oregon Trail a lot.

Our second one was a Compaq, with a Pentium III, onboard motherboard GFX. 56k that never went beyond 4100 on the best of days, 1200 when raining. It fried eventually after a botched RAM upgrade by my brother.

It did run Merchwarrior III, FFXI and Tribes 2 swell when we got it a PCI graphics card before the botched RAM incident.

My brother coached me in PC building in ~02. Most recently built a 5950X3D system. Thanks Microcenter. And R.I.P. my brother.
