Something not long ago reminded me of Weird Al's "It's All About The Pentiums" from 1999. And I went through it line by line to see what holds up and what doesn't. Best line: "Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax."
There's an entire verse dedicated to the joke of how quickly computers became obsolete, which just isn't a thing anymore. A decently spec'd desktop can last a decade in service now.
I remember a great AMV to that song. Always loved me some W.A. White n Nerdy was a real banger. Also, I heard "I think I'm a Clone Now" way more than "I think We're Alone Now."
