The original IBM PC, with a 4.77mhz Intel 8088 CPU, (up to) 640KB of RAM, CGA graphics, and two 360KB 5.25" floppy drives was just starting to appear on desktops, as an engine to run the Lotus 123 spreadsheet.

Oh, yeah. Remember the glory of Mathcad, and then Lotus 1-2-3? Oh, jeeeze, it was HEAVEN.

I have a smartphone, but don't use it as a phone. It's a pass along from a friend who lost it, get another phone, found it again and passed it to me. I wiped it and reconfigured. It's a PDA with WiFi, Bluetooth, and a serviceable 8MP camera. It's incredibly useful, but not a phone.
