I had twice the storage. My 286 had a 40MB hard disk. It also had 1MB of memory but only 640KB was accessible to the system without a memory mapping hack. It ran MSDOS 3.1. (Ah! the late '80s) Gee I had a lot of fun on that machine. I could connect via 1200 baud modem from my home to the university VAX-VMS and use the VAX Wordperfect wordprocessor to do my course work and then send it to the University printer, which produced beautiful results. I wouldn't go back though! I love my HP quadcore laptop running Gentoo. -- Regards, Gregory.
