My first computer was a Vic20, can't remember how much RAM, cassette for storage!
First PC was an Amstrad MegaPC, 386 CPU running at 25Mhz, 1Mb RAM, 40Mb hard drive!
Memory upgrade to 2Mb cost £104!!!
Now running
a) AMD 64x2 4200, 2Mb Ram, 320+250Gb Dual monitors and PCLinuxOS
b)Biostar XP3000, 1Mb, 320Gb, 19" widescreenTFT, PCLinuxOS
plus an Acer lappy, and an EeePC
Things have changed.
