• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

10MB Hard Disk...just $3398

Boy I remember some of those things! I had the big brother to the last one, a Sinclair Spectrum with a whopping 64kb of RAM on board and audio tape data storage. It took anything from 2 to 5 minutes to load a program (written in BASIC) and would invariably crash on completion...lol.

The first computers I used in industry were terminals on a Burroughs mainframe using the giant Winchester data drives (c.1978). The first PC-type machine I used was several years later (c.1989) and it was one of the original Mac 'toaster' designs, black and white only and the only computer in the entire Arts Faculty of a college in the UK. The following year we got 6 Apple Mac II's (with glorious 16 bit colour monitors) for the Art Department and I managed to persuade 'the powers that be' that I needed an Atari ST for the Music Department's recording studio (the Atari at that time was the industry standard for recording studios). How things have changed!
 
My first computer was a Atari 800, and seeing this does bring back some old memories..
And back then I was sure it couldn't get any better..:icon_lol: :icon_lol:
