My own IBM computer

My own IBM computer.Mom, can I have a computer like this one?

Imagine that!! Here a very old ad featuring the new IBM computers (dont know when it was dated). I think its hard to believe this computer had 256KB in RAM, a high speed microprocessor and Basic as computer language!! (See more specs in the image).

Believe it or not, this was the begining for computers. No usb or dual core technologies. You only needed a 5 1/4'' diskette for common purpouse.

Well, I think the price is the only thing that we can say its in "our days". Kind of expensive if you only used your pc for games.

Only the super tricked out top of the line ones had 256KB. The regular ones only hae 16KB.
