My first computer was a IBM PC Jr with 128K of RAM that cost me about $2500. In 1985 I traded my brother-in-law, a computer sales rep, a highchair for a used MAC 512 with a 20 Meg hard drive. Used a telephone modem at 2400 K speed to get on the web and use Prodigy - where I got my computer moniker chuckinca (people then were always asking where you were from so I put it in my online name).
