I've found this to be my experience as well.

Speaking of hardware: My husband and I started in 1982 with an Atari 800 48K
and a NovaCat 300 baud modem. Last year he built me a 486-50 with 16 meg of
memory and running Windows 3.1. It took him all the time between Christmas and
New Years and he had parts all over the place on beach towels.

I also agree with Mr. Coherence that this list exposes one to many different
viewpoints and opinions which is very good.
