you kids LOL - nostalgia time:
First was a Commodore Vic20 with the cassette tape drive for storage - might have had 16k RAM - used the TV as a monitor
Next was a Commadore 64 with 64k RAM - woohoo - still used the TV as a monitor
Next was a true blue IBM 8088 with a 20 Meg hard drive and 5-1/4 floppy with a monitor that only showed beige characters
Soon I put a 2400 baud modem in that thing and could now access Bulletin Boards - damn I had it going on.
and the list goes on and on -
