Well yeah. I mean, computers back then weren't just spyware in a Scooby Doo mask.
I really hate to be "that person", but..........it's "run of the mill", not "run off the mill", friend.
It's a term from the late 1800s that refers to "manufactured goods not graded or sorted for quality—that is, a mill's products before they've been separated according to what will sell for how much." (Source for quote: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/where-does-run-of-the-mill-come-from)

Although I agree with the "land-centric" part, I do have to say that to be fair it does look like a horse in every part except the bottom.
Is this a reference to the Troubles? Sorry, speaking as an ignorant American who's trying their best.
Edit: Yes. Yes, it is.

As a young(-ish) person myself, I can assure you that it's not that we prefer particle board, but rather that that's the majority of what's affordable out there. As I'm sure you're probably aware, unless you go thrifting like you just said, real wood stuff in general, let alone furniture, is usually very expensive.
