I still have my Macintosh 512, born in 1985. I remember how thrilled my whole family were to see bouncing balls running over the screen AND YOU COULD CONTROL THEM WITH THE MOUSE!!!
Boy, what a thrill. And my son played with the Piloting game, it was so realistic that you could get sea sick landing a twin wing plane on a ship at sea. In fact, his ability with a computer got him into the officer's office to work their computers, since they had not much practice with them. He also commented on how everyone stood around and gazed in wonder at their new hard disk that held so much information. It was EIGHTY MGs of holding power.

From the Internet about computers then. We HAVE come a long
way since then.
(it holds 80 megabytes - 80 million characters - of data, roughly the equivalent of 48,000 double-spaced, typewritten pages). That may seem a lot, but hard disks work just like attics: as more space becomes available, more junk materializes to fill it.
