Answer 1

Hey, it comes with a printer. That's about what my first computer cost.

Answer 2

That would be mid 80s at the earliest. The PC (dual floppy) was invented in 1980. I remember because that’s the year I started In IT

Answer 3

I miss the sound of a dot matrix printer.

Answer 4

I remember having a PC that had no hard drive. You booted from a floppy then changed to another floppy that had a word processor that also contained your files.

Answer 5

My Vic 20 had 5 kilobytes of RAM.

Answer 6

Unfortunately it's still gibberish to me

Answer 7

When I as in grad school in 1989, I kicked off a computer program, then went off on vacation. When I got back, I found out my program has used 3MB of memory on the computer system, and everyone was pissed at me.

Today, 3MB is a single high-quality photograph.

Answer 8

I had one of those with an 11 inch green monochrome monitor that could actually display fonts and graphics. I was so impressed.
Does anyone remember Ventura Publisher?

Answer 9

My, how things have changed. Simply by exporting jobs, and exploiting labor in third world countries, we have made it easier and less expensive for poorly-educated people to obtain misinformation.
