Mine was an IBM PS2/50z (Microchannel) w/ 2 floppy 40k HDs, 256k mem, orange/black screen and DOS2 (9 commands), 9,600 baud modem on CompuServe BBS, and continuous form paper printer. Along came Egghead Software Stores and I was off-and-running w/ graphical programs. $4,500 in '87. (I still have it all in my basement's computer museum.) Good ol' days, huh?

256K! That’s the first one we got in the early 90s that got us on the internets. Thanks for remembering.

Damm! $4700 in ‘87 was a chunk of change back then.
