Oh wait, that was 1990.
You're a young one. I had those specs in 1987. I had VGA and an 80MB hd. That stupid hard drive was $1800.

My first was a Apple II GS. Just for the graphics ability vs the IBM or it's clones.

I started mid-late 80's. Lived in the trenches of Lantastic, Novell, dBase, Foxpro, Word Perfect, Quattro Pro, dot-matrix printers, low BAUD modems, etc...

We're twins.

I had all of that crap. I even had a color scanner for another $1800, and an Epson wide-format color dot matrix printer. Got my first HP LaserJet in 1989.
