My dad had an Amstrad 1640 with a WHOLE 640KB of RAM and a 10MB hard disk. He fondly remembers the day the bloke in the computer shop told him 10MB would last a lifetime. Now I can fit 32GB onto a MicroSD card the size of my fingernail.
Of course, before that we had an Amiga, a computer that was truly ahead of its time. We even had a colour dot-matrix printer to go with it, which was well and truly abused by my brother and me who used it to print out A4 pictures we'd make on the computer.
Which brings me to a much more useful subject - old games. :-)
Anyone else have Digger, or Dizzy, or Rainbow Islands?
