Lessons Learned:
I learned that technology has improved way past what I thought it has. I had no clue there were single sticks of RAM with 48 GB of storage, and hard drives/ssd’s that have 20+ TB of storage, that are relatively cheap compared to what you would imagine from the price of a single TB a few years ago. It also surprised my just how many different components there were, I knew about intel CPU’s and I had heard of Ryzen before but I didn’t realize just how many different kinds of CPU’s there are.
