“My first PC was a dual-floppy 8086 with 256mb of memory on which I wrote financial accounting software.”

Dang, I got jipped!!!
My 8086 only had 512KB and was only upgradeable to 640KB…. :-)

No, you didn't get gipped. I posted in error as you well know!

I did not have 256mb of memory, I had 2mb of memory as I had the Rampage Memory Expansion board in mine. Yes, I was dumb enough to purchase one and I'm embarassed to remember how much I paid for the damn' thing........

I have no idea why I typed 256mb other than it was so long ago I no longer think in terms of "KB" or perhaps it's my early onset dementia since turning 51 this year.
