I got a Dell, dude. A not-quite-top-of-the-line desktop model back in 2000. Got it for my son, really. He was starting middle school.

Got myself a Gateway laptop years later in '06. Bought him an HP laptop in '07 for Graduation and then I got myself a new Gateway last year.

Atari 64 with a Commodore monitor and 2 Ingus floppy drives. This was back when a 10 meg HD cost over $1,000.

First PC was a custom AT, 30 meg HD, 640k of memory and a monocrome monitor. IIRC it was around $3k.

^Correct that. That Atari was the 800XL. 64k of memory and built in Atari basic. It was also a 16 color machine which was state of the art back then. Bought it around 1983.

#6 I bought that AT back in '88 and it was considered a high end business class machine. Had a 300 baud modem.

In '85 I upgraded from the Atari 800XL to the new 130XE. Basically a 800XL with 128k of dual bank memory. That amount of memory was smok'n back then.

Comp-USA package deal with a printer for $1,000 in 1988. No modem. Floppy drove. It had a "Turbo" command that doubled its speed.
