Why would I be kidding about any Windows installation I ever used? I was on a computer with a CPU measured in the low hundreds of megahertz and RAM measured in the low hundreds of megabytes. It was paging like crazy trying to do anything non-trivial.

Perhaps, judging by the downvotes of the grandparent comment some folks thought I was casting aspersions on Windows 2000 itself.
