Darn, I guess that makes me a dinosaur. I seem to recall my first HDD was a Seagate 10 Mb

You have company. The first machine I had was a PC/XT with a 10MB hard drive and a 5 1/4” floppy drive. I later upgraded the machine with a 286 processor running at 8Mhz. A real screamer in its day. :)

Those were the days and I have many fond memories of the early days. After holding out for a few more years I eventually transitioned to the 286 as well. As much as I loved my Mac at the time there was little real software being written for it and I needed more than what Apple was offering in those early days.
