After a zx spectrum and a Commodore 64, my first real PC was an IBM AT.

No hard drive, only 5.25" floppies. The more complex programs involved multiple discs, used in sequence, with a serious wait at each disc change and the whole thing worked in geological time.

When the school I worked at upgraded their PCs and gave me a discarded RM Business Machine, with a twenty meg HD aand Window Box OS, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

Amazing that such a short time later I have a machine which can download enough to fill that twenty meg in about 8 seconds.

And it's nowhere near state of the art.
