Oh my. So cheap in those days.

I was selling a pre-MS/DOS CP/M system in '82. Saw my first 5 Megabyte hard disk that we sold for 10K...or was it a 10 Meg for 5K? Anyway, it was a lot for a little.

Did you always remember to mount a scratch monkey?

:-)

In 1979 a couple of us put a Pertec fixed hard drive onto an Apple.  One whole meg!  (Gah-zang! Gosh, boy-oh-boy.)

yes but you couldn't play frisbee with them unlike 8" single sided floppies.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
