My computer is a Microsoft Word PC and not an Apple computer, though I started out with an “Apple two three” many years ago – had 16K of RAM.  I kept a little history:

12/10/93 I had a 386SX running at 25 megahertz, 14 megabytes of RAM – it did 4 million instructions per second.

11/27/97 I had 486 DX266, 16 megabytes of RAM, 1.2 gigabyte hard drive, 600 megabytes free!

Then in just a month, 12/26/97 I had 32 megabytes of RAM, 166mhz Pentium I, new ATI display card, new motherboard, new memory.  7/10/98 installed windows 95, Winfax 8, WP Suite version 8, Office 97, 2.5 gigabyte drive (temporary).

On 2/26/2001 – Pentium 3 600mhz, windows 98 256 K cache, 133mhz bus, Winfax 8, WP Suite version 8 Office 97, 6 gigabytes hard drive space, 256 megabytes of RAM.

On 4/6/2002 – added 40 gigabyte hard drive! reinstalled Windows ’98 and all programs.

7/16/03 P-4 2.4 (2400mhz), 1 megabyte cache, 533mhz bus, no separate cards – all built in – huge increase in speed 512 mega RAM, 600 watt power supply – features I had not before: USB Ports – no floppy disks and in 2009 have 320 gigabytes, 3 gigabytes system RAM and a USB key with 16 gigabytes.

Awesome changes over time!
