I was poor and way behind the technology curve when I bought my used Tandy 386SX with a 33mhz processor, 4MB of RAM and about 100MB of harddrive space. (Windows 3.1) I had to add a 33.6 modem and a sound card to get online. (the ISP felt my pain and send me a floppy with Netscape 1.22, it hadn’t come with a browser).... I think the Pentiums were just on the market. I remember seeing an external CD-burner on sale for something like $999 or the like. Amazing how that price dropped.
lol.
I was using a third hand commodore colt(IBM PC copy) with an 8088 CPU and a 4th hand IBM monochrome amber monitor in the early 90s. It had a hard drive, floppy drive and modem, but couldn’t run windows. I used it for wordperfect and quattro pro.
My first Goldstar 286 pc had a 20 meg HD. Today that would fit about 4 mp3s. I paid $2000. :)
