Heck, my first computer was an Exidy Sorcerer that I got in 1978. I remember getting it with the optional 32K of RAM and the salesman telling me that this was more memory then I would EVER need in my entire lifetime.
Backups were done on audio tape at a sizzling 1200 baud. Most modems were running at 300 baud back then, so this was really hot stuff. Imagine reading text scrolling on the screen in realtime and you will have an idea of the speed we are talking about.
It was it HUGE upgrade when I got my floppy disk drive setup added on. If none of you have ever seen 8 inch floppy disks, you probably don't realize exactly WHY they were called "floppies".
