Ye older days don't exist for me; the first computer I learned to use was a Windows 98SE PC
If I remember correctly, it had an 800MHz Celeron CPU and an Nvidia Riva TNT2 GPU (32MB?). I would have been about 12 and my brother 11 and we spent many hours installing games from old PC User CDs. Cube was possibly the most exciting and long-lasting game we discovered. I used to get up at 4am and spend the next 3 hours creating awesome levels for my brother to play. Once we finally got new PCs (2009), we got multiplayer working and made awesome levels together, still on that older version of the original Cube. We made one level that was called "Dimensions" and then a second called "Dimensions World", with which I accidentally overwrote the first level because I forgot you can't have spaces in the name :S
Anyway.

Ah no! I love the current smileys, they're
so much better than most new ones!

Not necessarily. It can take 30 seconds or more on slower internet and when you're in a real hurry you're often sort of sliding away from the keyboard whilst still typing, then just before you move too far away, you hit Post and run.

Agreed, agreed and agreed!
My new PC bits should be here soon (next half-hour I hope, our mail delivery is a little slow). My PC died a week ago and decided to go all out and fully upgrade it (and send myself broke at the same time). So that means:
Core 2 Quad 9550
-> i5 4670
MSI MS-7528
-> Asrock Z87M Extreme4
Kingston 2GB (something) and Samsung 1GB (something, found at the tip)
-> Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB 1600MHZ
(something) 400W
-> Thermaltake Litepower 600W
Nvidia GTS250 1GB
-> Nvidia GTX560 1GB (second hand)
Total price ~$750 and worth every cent!
Ridiculously excited! The combined increase of speed from the i5, GTX560 and synchronous DDR3 RAM (over mix-and-matched DDR2 RAM) should be instantly noticeable. Take into account that my harddrive supports SATA3, yet my last board was only SATA2, and my PC is going to absolutely fly!
PC Case Gear, thankyou for proving parts slightly cheaper than eBay and all from the the same place!
