Remember when Windows 3.1 and a 20MB disk was high tech. Now we get 20mb/sec transfers. What's in another 10 years?
Yeah, I remember the MITS Altair 8800 Computer - 1975 about $400
With a mightly 256 bytes, expandable to 1k memory
There was no keyboard or display; the hobbyist programmed the computer using a panel of switches
and read the output from a panel of neon bulbs

Ah yes... S-100 bus cards, CP/M + MP/M, 8" Floppys that made big clunking noises when the heads dropped...
