I'm old enough to remember when my first computer had a 210MB hard drive and 4MB of ram.

Fancy! My first computer had 16K RAM and saved to cassette.

Lording it over us poor Vic-20 users :( I remember wishing I could have that computer. I ended up with a commodore 64 soon after.

The first PC I owned was a 486 with 8MB of RAM which no one else had. I remember I could make a RAM drive and copy the entire install of games into the RAM drive and they would be so fast. Imagine being able to cache 3 floppy disks worth of data!
