[[I paid $350 for a Seagate 40MB HHD in 1988 from Computer Shopper ad and thought I would NEVER FILL IT UP!]]

Lol i bought a 500 mg HD and 512 mg of ram thinking I was set for life- Even when I told neighbor how much i had splurged his reaction wass like “Geez dude- that’s overkill”

We used to ‘joke’ about getting a computer with a 1 Gig HDD (didn’t exist) and a Gig of RAM (SUPER EXPENSIVE!) with a 486 uP 50MHz DOUBLE CLOCKED (The ‘best’ you could buy!).........Today that would be a seriously under powered computer!.................sigh, those were the Golden Years of computing!......................
