Hell no.

The *1200 bps external modem* wasn't even included.

My first computer was the IBM XT 8088 in 1986. One floppy drive, had to insert the DOS disk, wait for the computer to boot, then take that out, put in the program disk, take THAT out, and put in the data disk to save.

Now we have "terabyte" hard drives.

Where's the mouse? Seriously? Was it "sold separately"?

You have to forgive me -- I was 11 in 1986.
