yeh lol cache memory thats the shiz!!!

 

Funny thing is, I'm not that old but I vaguley remeber that! But I don't remeber ever seeing that version of PageMaker that is on the screen! I guess after parents spent that much on a PC then they couldnt afford the high priced software for it! I didn't get PageMaker until Version 4.0.

 

that rules....


the best part is my phone has more memory and more processing power and it has more colors on the screen and the topper was it is a phone as well... lol

 

my first computer was in 1987, a 286 / 10 with half a meg of memory, mono screen and a 10 megabyte hardrive. it ran dos and a program called GEM that looked like an early windows. i think it was around $6000. it was made by a company called DART. it was part of a computer engraving machine. (took a dump in 1992)

then a 386 /16 for around $3500

then a 486/33 for around $2500 (new in 1992 still use it on a computer engraving machine original battery, hardrive and motherboard)

then a pentium 90 loaded with state of the art cd and tape back up - $2500

pentium233 for $1600 (this computer was the first one that really made me go WOW thats fast) this one runs the origianl computer machine i bought new in 1987

now i buy the cheapest E-machine i can find $409

 

first computer we had was a commadore 64 it was just a huge 5 1/4 floppy drive basically that u plugged into ur TV and it had a keyboard with it. we sold it some some mexicans at a garage sale for 50 bucks!!! hehe. i think it was bought for about 5,600 dollars. then out 2nd computer was a IBM it had 16mb memory. 644mb HD. a floppy drive. 256 color monitor. 3 color video card... i played chessmaster on it!!! i think it had a 286 in it

 

"Monitor and mouse not included"

Remember this one?

 

Got my start on one of these at Summer camp...



Remember enying my friend up the road that had one of these:



Owned one of these (with tape drive)...

 

Ahhhh... the Radio Shack Trash-80... good times, good times...

 

My first was a Commodore Plus-4, then I imoved up to a Commodore 128, which died about 3 weeks later. The company wouldn't take it back so I bought a Commodore 64. When that died I went without a coumputer until 1996.
