Wow. Look at that ad:

“...History-Making Low Cost... $1999.00”

That’s the one thing I DON’T MISS.

60 Mb?

I just looked up a 20 minute animated cartoon on my fire: 93Mb.

I just put a 30Gb expansion card in my fire: micro SD- the size of a matchhead.
It cost $28.00

I don’t think anybody would’ve predicted the way cheap memory has proliferated.

OS/2... HAHAHA. Hadn’t heard that in ages. The first CNC machine I ever used was run on OS/2

I had that very Northgate system. With the “new” VGA system I paid $3,200.
