Hackers.

It’s 2023 and I’m on an ARM laptop so RISC technology did change everything.

RISC is good.

Yeah, but how fast is your modem?

56kbps

Triple the speed of the Pentium. It's not just the chip... it has a PCI bus.

Was Hackers actually a hit at the time or did it grow into one?

I don't think so, even after time it was never a hit but more a cult-classic.

Shame really, you can't replace the quality of hovering over circuity and giant glass towers throwing out I/O.

it wasn't originally a hit but it grew into a cult classic.
