TI 99, Followed by the Vic 20, then real step up to the Timex Sinclair 2068, then (am I boring you yet?) 8088 clone with a whopping 2 MB, thats right 2 MEGABYTE, RAM, 5 1/4 floppy, 3 1/2 floppy, and a 20 MB hard drive, upgraded to a 286 with 4 meg a ram using DOS and GeoWorks (made windows run faster!) and 40 MB hard drive.  Thats when a 150 MB hard drive cost 200 bucks! and a 14.4 modem was 249.00.  Since then, countless PC's to my current scrap heap (2g ram, 1tb HD, Dual Burners, etc etc etc)

EH :)
