Going to a totally different sort of off-topiuc now, to keep this
thread alive :)
When I bought my first comp, from my very own money, I bought a
DX2/66/4 meg/420 meg/14" thingy for $1000, added extra 4 meg (at a
friggin' $160), and some sound/cd extras... then two months later, I
bought a 850 meg extra drive... at $250, whicxh twoi weeks later was
available everywhere for $150 *shudder* They had just had a major
price-cut :(... And thus the upgrading began. :)
Of course, this is nothing compared to my mother's first
IBM/compataible PC.
$8000. 8 MHz 8088, 256 KB (Twice as much as standard :) ), 20 megs,
360 Kb, 12" mono-green MDA (as in.. not even up to Hercules graphices
yet :) )
Well. Enough of this off-topic rambling.
ObLego: Mindstorms has more processing power than the very first comp.
