Now think about the amount of storage we will have 45 years from now.
I had a 186 (or possibly an 8088?) in the mid 80s as my first PC. It ran on two low density 5.25" floppy drives, with no internal HD. My uncle bought himself a new HDD and gave me his old 20MB drive. When I was next at the local computer store, I asked how much a 20MB drive costs, and my jaw hit the floor!
I didn’t think 186 was a thing.
Seemed to go straight from 8086/8088 to 80286.
It was a thing

My 1st was an apple ][ plus clone with a controller for 2 8” floppy drives. I ran a BBS off of it.
