My father started building Heathkit computers in 1978, so this is spot on. Yes, it was possible to build a computer at home from commercial kits in 1985, when this strip takes place. Early Heathkit computers had enough RAM to run a modern day vacuum cleaner—nice subtle joke there!
I’ve been building my own gaming pcs since the early 90s, my first was DX2-66 based. The benefits of being a service tech for a company that built their own machines from scratch to lease out.

I tried installing Orc Craft and playing it. It didn’t turn me into a zombie, and it’s boring.

My current phone has two slots for 1Tb cards. I’ll probably fill that up in my lifetime with pictures.
