My first computer was an 8088 with 256k of ram.  It had a 150k floppy,
parallel, serial, CGA, NTSC, and a 1MB MFM.

It was given to my dad by Johnson Controls so he could learn PC stuff.  He
never used it.  :)

My second computer was an 8086 with 640k of ram, 360k floppy, parallel,
serial, CGA, NTSC/PAL, and a 10MB MFM.

Then I got 3 AIIEs and an AIIGS.
