Great post.

My parents gave me a Commodore 64 (64k of memory) back around 1985/6 and that cost a whopping $1,500.

All to play a few games and for typing up reports in the word processor.

I wasn't much of a gamer then and never became one. My mom used it more than me to type up recipes.

My first computer was a powermac in 95 that cost 2300. 28.8 modem. Hard to believe how slow those things were. Also had like 100mb storage.
