I spent around $3,200.00 for myfirst second computer. An 8 bit monster running at a blazingly fast 4.77 MHz. Two 360K DSDD 5.25” floppies. Amber composite monitor. In today’s dollars that’s $9,200.61

4.77 MHz

Do you now why ethernet was invented at 3.33 MHz at PARC? Because that was the clock speed of the processor.

Going to 10 MHz was a piece of cake. Going to 10/100MHz over phone wires was a bit of work. Going to Gigaherz speed over phone wires meant using old, previously unused phone wires in the 8-wire system.

Going over air meant confronting the much higher attenuation of air versus conductors.

I am surprised it worked.
