I once paid $250 for an 80MB drive (note the M) and couldn't believe what a great deal I had found. That's 80 MILLION bytes!! Of course the biggest program I had at the time was King's Quest V weighing in at 10MB or so.

This was my first “real” computer; also including 133 MHz Pentium and 4 Mb of video memory, later upgraded to 16 Mb Voodo 3Dfx because the Quake II emerged! :-D

I can believe it, the whole package for my computer was around $2,000 and it was refurbished, but did also come with a 17 inch monitor
Mine/see my previous response/ came with 14’’ monitor but it was bright new and for about $1200.

Look better? :)
I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant.

Nah. That is boring. All that needed fixing was the color scheme. :)

I got you beat by a mile - my first 20mb hard drive cost me $700 - and all my friends laughed at me for getting such a large drive.

Jystad, 2001DesqView and DesqViewX were actually way ahead of Windoze at the time in terms of multitasking. They provided pre-emptive multitasking (as opposed to cooperative multitasking in Windows). I worked for Quarterdeck for a few years and used them a lot (including QEMM, remember?). Good times...
