I played with a couple of computers running early versions of DOS and had an Apple IIc at home when I was young. Except for a few encounters with Mac Classics I didn't really mess with computers again until college and Windows 3.1.
Gas, $1 per meg for hard drives wasn't great but I also remember $50 per kb for RAM. I knew a guy freshman year who sold weed to make enough so he could add 16k of RAM to his computer. Living in the engineering dorm was "different". ![]() |

And now you can buy an "eco" 2TB hard drive for around $80.00. I'll be buying a RAID-5 NAS enclosure and populating it with those drives to give me a total of 6TB of fail safe backup space, for the storage of my photographs.

Shell for a 6 bay pedestal (on the pro line) is about ~1k and allows for NIC teaming/bridging. Western Digital's got some inexpensive 1.5T Enterprise drives for ~180 on NewEgg too right now. The 12 shell 2U runs ~5k though..... |

First MS DOS I used was 3.x.
First OS I ever used regularly was CP/M on an Osborne 'luggable' suitcase computer like this one. That was around '82 - '83. |
