Yah... no kidding. Our fixed assets database still shows some of the first computers the company bought. One was an IBM 8088. 64K ram, a floppy, no hard drive. $6,000.
In fact I've still got one of the old Compaq luggables in my office. Pretty cool. I'm still trying to figure out how to bodge a network connection for it and use it for something.
