Oh man, I remember when my grandmother, an IBM retiree, got access to
one of those 5 meg "side slap-on" harddrives for her XT.  I couldn't
believe that she had 5 megs of storage!!  This was at the time when I
was running stuff of insertable cartridges in my PC Jr.

Oddly a friend next door got an apple.. with a color printer and the
ability to save data to cassette tapes.  I was quietly envious though
it took me all the way to OS X before even considering an Apple for
anything other then a door stop.
