Brings back memories Jeff! Like Greg, I can remember spending a small fortune to upgrade my IBM PS1 from 1MB to 2MB of Ram. And don't get me started on the 170MB hard drive

Good take on the theme Jeff.
The module above looks nothing like the first 1-Meg ram module I paid $250 for, in 1992.
Best of luck this week.

Thanks Greg! That's *just* an 8GB stick of memory from a server.
I grew up with an Apple ][, so I've been through a lot.

Good one!
Thanks Greg! When I was a freshman in college back in '98 my parents bought me a new computer. 64MB of RAM, an 8MB video card and a 10GB harddrive.

Oh stop, you guys are breaking my heart. You all were in NASA territory compared to the VIC 20 I had.
5 KB of RAM. Yes that's KILOBYTES with a "K". Ok, you can add another 16 or so for ROM. Now we're flyin'.
And a hard drive? If you consider a cassette tape player a hard drive then yeah...I had one.
And yes I did have to walk 3 miles each way to school in the snow. And YES it was uphill BOTH WAYS!!!

Worst I had to deal with were 5.25" floppy drives!
