I’d never even heard of one of those. Looks like a pretty bad-ass machine, though. Apparently it had a built-in 300 baud modem? Man, I didn’t get to tinker with one of those until our 386!
Oh… it WAS a sweet machine… and still is. Last time my dad visited me he brought it with and gave it to me. It’s sitting in my closet. I still haul it out from time to time and play text games on it. Heh. He also had a Kaypro 10 for a time. It came out in 83 and had a whopping 10 mb hard drive. I remember thinking back then… “What the heck are you going to do with 10 mb? It’s so much space!” Oh how times have changed.
Ha, if we had a dollar for every time we said something to the effect of “whatever will we do with all this space??” every computer nerd would have a couple of bucks, easy
Yeah, no kidding on that. I said it with my 40 mb drive in 93, and my 2 gig in 97, and my 8g in 2000 and my 40gig in 2002, and now my 320… And I’m looking at the stors. They’ve just come out with models holding a terrabyte. A TERABYTE. Man… What the heck would someone ever need a terabyte for… Oh… here’s your buck.
Is that Donkey Kong Jr I see?
If I were to go back in time with my iPod 10 years, I wonder how many heads I could explode by demonstrating that I have 60GB of storage in my pants.
I got a really good laugh from this. My first computer was a Kaypro 2X. 390kb per disk and a whopping 64kb of ram. Oh how the world has changed.
