What a great series...
I still watch it a lot on a "nostalgia" TV channel called SIC Gold I have on cable TV.
"I kill myself" laughing with ALF, All in the family, Cheers and last but not least my favorite of all times "Family ties".
Back on topic, I still remember my father using 8 inches floppies (that's were the name floppy comes from as you should pick up an 8 inch one) at work
160K I believe. It was as big as an LP music record
My 1st PC was a i8088 with 512KB of RAM and a 720KB FDD: No hard drive.
I had to buy an external one with 10MB.
Gaming with that one was really bad as it had an Hercules-mode "graphics" adapter which was monochromatic.
Though, it could emulate CGA by software.
Oh! and I used MS-DOS 3.3 on it!
My cousin had an Amstrad i8086 with 1MB of RAM, a 3.5" and a 5-1/4" floppies.
We ran Windows 2.something on it
It was cool. Seamed like GEM
Those days were fun.
Nowadays it's just stress with our P4-Xeons with GBs of RAM...
Cheers guys
