    Haha ;P

    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.

          I still have my box from 1998 and I believe it has 64MB of ram, an 8gig hard drive and a DVD player!!

          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.

          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.

              I bought an Amiga 500, I got a 20 MB drive, and I wondered how I could ever fill it.

                DesqView 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...

                  I owned DesqViewX, used it to do X programming at home, in the late 80's, IIRC. It did do pre-emptive multitasking. Windows did preventative multitasking.

                      My first HDD was also 20meg (all the space in the world!), back when they were still called Winchester discs.
