Brief amature history of PCing - not serious

Year 1993, 286 perhaps, have to spend an hour downloading a simple fix via land line and another hour installing it then return to Gardenweb perhaps. When did Gardenweb start?.
[Then, as they say in theater, the curtain falls to show time has passed]
Year 2013, a fairly new HP, turn it on with a message that I am getting 5 upgrades - do not interrupt, This completed and the message changes to installing 8493 updates! Again, 2 hours later I am functioning.
So what has 20 years progress brought me?
The HP was about $2000 cheaper,
I no longer pay monthly for a land line.
I can go to therapy and let the thing fix itself.
