I started with a Mac that had 128K and the Disk Drive was 400K. McPaint & McWrite ran perfectly fine and 400K seemed like more disk memory than anyone could ever use.
I got the Mac from Amazon. On PCs, you can add RAM later if you want, but on Macs, you can never increase the RAM because it is soldered into the machine. Buying a Mac with more RAM than necessary helps increase its longevity.
