Our first computer had a 540mb hard drive, 2 mb of ram, weighed as much or more than a child, and cost $3,200. I remember the friend who helped us saying "This is all the computer you'll ever need."
I ran Harvard Graphic on that dinosaur. Rendering a slide after changes were made took 4-5 minutes. We added a cartridge style cd rom, and I had my first experience with using a modem to send slides to a local shop. I had no understanding of what was actually happening. I just followed the steps.
