The classic NAND-me-down. My first personal computer was a "broken" 486 system I got for $25 at a yard sale. All it needed was a hard drive.

It could have been bought old and upgraded. Not everyone had the luxury of a brand new first computer.

Possibly, but even mother boards supporting 32MB would be rare. Perhaps on "DX3"?

As for a new computer and price - it was like $1000 to get AMD 486DX2-80 with 4MB RAM in '95...

I upgraded a ~1992 Dell 486 DX2 to 36MB (original 4MB + 32MB...or was it a pair of 16MB sticks? hard to remember) around 1997 or so.

So this depends if it was a 72 pin DIMM board. I don't think you could get there (easily?) on a 30 pin board, but 72 may have had native support for 64 out of the box.

Blogger was new when TV was 75 years old. Glad to see it's still around.

What is it? The page is vague to the point of uselessness.

Threads pages don't load for me. Is there a non-Threads option for this?

Do they? I haven't seen any research. My non-scientific experience watching people use Google tells me they mostly cycle through the ads at the top until they get to the right thing, or forget what they were doing and follow the first advertiser's funnel.

Occasionally I have to help someone find something through Google. The hardest part is getting them to not impulsively click the first link, which is invariably an ad instead of the right thing. The second hardest is helping then navigate back to the search results. The third, of course, is stopping them from clicking the second link. Also an ad for the wrong thing.

I stopped trying to help people with computer stuff unless I can take over and trust them to not blame me when some random, unrelated thing breaks down the line.

I don't do tabletop, but I do write, and making these is helpful for worldbuilding.

"Pack contains 6 Mega Rolls (224 Sheets Per Roll) of Charmin Ultra Soft Toilet Paper"

to

"MEGA ROLLS, MEGA VALUE: Pack contains 6 Mega Rolls (208 Sheets Per Roll) of Charmin Ultra Soft Toilet Paper"

Everyone saw that coming when they changed roll sizes and reframed it, right?

Toilet paper math is the hardest kind of math. According to the print on various different packages of Charmin, and I could not make this up:

12 Mega Plus rolls = 54 Regular rolls

30 Double Plus rolls = 68 Regular rolls

12 Super Mega rolls = 72 Regular rolls

18 Mega rolls = 72 Regular rolls usually, but sometimes are sold as "Bonus Mega = 82 Regular rolls"

They can keep the sheets per roll the same and still give us less for the same price if they reduce the dimensions or thickness of the sheet too. They should just give us a weight assuming the paper is less expensive than the cardboard roll inside.
