Appendix B: The Secret to Not Getting a 1985 IBM PC

Warning: This appendix contains information that may cause existential dread in those who still use Windows 10.

This appendix serves as a primer on how to avoid acquiring a 1985 IBM PC, a machine so ancient it's older than the internet itself.

• Don't look at it in the store.
• Don't ask your parents to buy it for you.
• Don't even think about it.

By following these simple steps, you'll avoid the crushing burden of having to deal with:

• A 9" floppy drive
• CGA graphics
• Only 640KB of RAM
