ooh! I can plan "old man" too. The first computer I actually bought myself was a Gateway 486-33mhz, with 4mb ram, and a 110mb hard drive....dual floppies! It ran DOS as Windows wasn't out yet. Check the "m" instead of "g" in those numbers. mega-hertz not giga-hertz. Mega-bytes not Giga-bytes and for SURE not terabytes.
In high school I lusted after an Osborne 1, then a Kaypro. I taught myself to program on our school's lone Apple IIe that was in a corner of the "typing room".
I did manage to miss the era of the punch card.
