Ah, those were the days. These days we just go down to Circuit City and rummage through the bins.

"OS/2 ready". Now there is a blast from the past.

I remember.
Recently I saw some pictures of a house that has not been changed since the 1960s or 70s. What fascinated me most was the fact that the owners were STILL using a rotary phone. I had not seen one in years!

Oh, the agonizing recoveries using the 23 diskette set to install it... yow. Major painful flashbacks here...
(had to do with our programmers taking a 4GB disk, formatting it to 3.9 GB and leaving the .10 unformatted... any uncontrolled shutdown/reboot required a version of twister with the diskettes to boot the danged thing back into life)

Loved that...it was tech porn for us early adopters!

I built my first computer in 1975 in my USAF barracks room in North Dakota. A year later I upgraded to a 1200 baud cassette tape “mass storage” and 4 kbyte static RAM.

Jesus, I remember those things being as thick as the white pages at one point! Just pages of nerd dreams. Back when I could not imagine that one day they would actually cost under 2000 dollars.

There was an outfit called DAK that used a lot of hyperbole in their ads. The one that still tickles me was a 286 with “Blazing 12 MHz”.
I too, remember reading EVERY page and daydreaming about a new machine.

5 MB hard drive, 120kb disks, 12 minutes of tape running to load a program into a 64kb computer...
My watch has more memory and processing power (and connectivity) than my first 4 computers combined.
