How do you run applications and an operating system with GUI in 8-16MB of ram? My computer from 1997 had 32 MB of ram and I was told it was more than I would ever need.
i remember i bought my very first plextor 4x cd-writer for 150 from buy.com, and it was such a sweet deal.
I was clearing my crate of important papers the other day, shredding old documents and whatnot. I came across a souvenir of my computing days' past.
I recognized it even though all of the ink had completely faded from it. It was a receipt for Egghead Software for my 2x SCSI CD Recorder.
It cost $999.97. With discount. Fortunately, I took a picture of the receipt before the ink faded.
I got far more than my money's worth out of that thing. Learned a lot about AV stuff because of what that thing sparked: being able to record my favourite records to CDR. Audio mastering, inputs, grounding, levels, preamps, etc... All of it became quite useful knowledge.
And still...
I still can't believe I paid a fucking grand for a CD Recorder...

The price for ink cartridges is still the same. Sad.
