I did not know what to with all that space!
LOL. Actually the word only should be before the drive capacity. What ever storage capacity we have, we need more. Today I have 'only 1 TB' on "Only three machines"

Lord, that takes me back! My first 'computer' was a build-it-yourself kit from Texas Instruments. After that was a series of Ataris; 400, 800XL, and finally the Mega-4!
The Mega-4 was actually a surprisingly capable machine, and the Gem OS was rock-solid. And if, like me and most of my friends at the time, you tended to write your own software, it could run rings around most anything else then available that wasn't a mainframe (remember those?).

Ah, memories!

Here's my first computer (September 1981 iirc).
An AVL Eagle II - it ran CP/M, had 64Kb RAM and two single sided 5¼" 384Kb floppies. It cost about £1,600. I used it mainly to control slide projectors (and other devices) in multi-screen audio visual presentations.
HERE you can find out about the first computer that I owned, and yes, I bought it in 1977, when it first came out.

Haha Roy,
The eagle from AVL we used to program 18 projector panorama shows on it. My wife used to operate the Rostrum Cameras and do all the darkroom. The graphic computer I described was from Eagle as well, the Eagle 2000 running DOS1 (which AVL ripped of MS and subsequently got sued) we used it to make speaker support slides, it had a really nifty 3d function. I remember when they upgraded the motherboard to put a maths coprocessor on it, it was the first and only time I have seen a chip burn a hole through a motherboard. ahhh memories and 100hr weeks LOL
