BLENDER

Blender 2.76b (Windows 32-bit) is now running on the Dell Dimension 8200.

Seeing Blender running on this machine is somewhat surreal. I'm the original owner of this pc and I can't believe I didn't try this in all the years I've owned it. I ordered this computer in 2002 during the "DUDE, YOU'RE GETTING A DELL." era. I'm increasingly surprised by how capable the Dimension 8200 still is.

What started as an old computer that I used for surfing the web, burning CDs, and writing college essays and resumes is now turning into a real working legacy dev environment. I'm not sure what purpose using Blender will serve on this journey yet, but I think this will prove to be VERY useful for concepts and design.
