I've worked with this, it was during my GCSE ICT course at college when we were learning the basics of DOS programming. Very interesting on a whole, though if I'm right this one has an external floppy disk drive? Ours didn't, it actually had the floppy disk drive built in, so the model was maybe slightly different, but more or less the same business.

I was one of the lucky ones to.. we had one of the first color monitors ever made! to go with that IIc and the first drawing program... boy was it crude!
MS paint is miles ahead of what I was using back then. to be honest I don't even remember what it was called as it was next to use less.
Even with the first mouse ever made!

Actually it was so disappointing at the time, that it turned me off computers until the days of the 386's, at that point I knew PC's had gotten past being nothing more then over priced typewriters/ calculators to something more useful like a creative tool!

oh indeed! I also remember when a digital watch was red L.E.D only and cost $600 (Around 2000 today) and all it did was show the hour,minutes and two blinking dots for the seconds! nothing else!
Pocket calculators! coast $400+ then and they didn't have half the features or functions of the ones today you get for 10 bucks!
Now something that can tell the time,day, month, around the world keep track of dates, connect to the internet, surf it, get and send E-mail, pictures, play games, is a phone(mobile, not wired to a wall)! music player, camera, video camera, has wall paper, screen savers and ring tones you can change at will! Touch sensitive, has a keyboard, wireless head set, can balance your check book, is a G.P.S and makes toast is half the money then that single function watch!

Haha, yeah its amazing how computers and prices change over the years, i remember the first computer we had, cost like 1500 pounds and it had like 16mb of RAM, and nowadays for the same price you could get a compute r thats has 8Gb of RAM, god knows how much more that is.
*uses free built in calculator in windows.
