Ultimate Collection of Computer Facts and FunThe computer I had in 1991, an Atari 1040 ST, was the one I did all of my master's work on: around two thousand pages of writing, projects, lessons plans, and on and on. It had a jaw-dropping one whole megabyte of RAM- and I don't mean that facetiously; it really was an amazing number to me. This computer has 768 times that, and a 30 Gb hard drive- the latter being something my old Atari was not blessed with. So perhaps a more accurate title would be "Ultimate Collection of Obsolete Computer Facts and Fun From When Your Parents Were Your Age." Clunky title, but accurate.

Great, cheesy cover art on a lot of those books. Shudder.
Oh man, the first computer we ever had was back in the early/mid 80s when I was a kid, some Texas Instruments model. The expansion was something around 16k and it used tapes instead of floppies.
