My first computer (Nascom 2) didn't even have a floppy. A hard disk would have cost many more
times than the computer. The first hard disk I saw
many years later was 80 MB and very loud.
Almost six orders of magnitude advancement. I do
wonder if humanity will every be able to pull such a stunt again.
- marcsquared 9y agoSo cool to see the Nascom being mentioned! My father bought a Nascom 1 as his first computer, which was a DIY kit if I remember correctly. We still have it around. :) My first contact with a computer was the BBC Micro B. Such a wonderful machine and I still power it up a few times per year! Chuckie Egg and Castle Quest ftw! ;)
- FullyFunctional 9y agoYep, my Nascom 2 was a kit (2000+ solder points!). I maintain nascomhomepage.com which has most everything. If you have anything not already there, kindly share!
