The first computer I owned was a Mac SE. I still have it. It still worked as of a few months ago.
When I bought this $2000 machine in 1988, it came with 1MB of RAM and two floppy drives. I immediately added a 45MB Seagate hd to it for $750.
In 1991 (or was it 1990?), I maxxed out the memory at 4MB. Having just come down massively in price, each 1MB 30-pin SIMM put me back $130. And that was a good price.
Now I have a 128MB part sitting on a shelf at home, unused.
