My Buddy at ASU had a 486 25.

That prompted me to get the DX 40.

That stuff was expensive. I still have an unopen box
of 5.25 floppies.

Use’em as coasters or find some way to use them as “art”.

Things WERE expensive back then. My old 386 had been upgraded a couple of times. It had come new with a 5 mb drive, was upgraded to a 10 then finally to a 20 just before I got it.
I later added a, at the time, blazing fast 14k modem.

The $30 phone I’m using to access the net now has MUCH more ability than that old 386 Sx.
