The Mac Plus I learned on had 1 MB of RAM, and an external 20 MB hard drive, that cost over $600 in 1990. Floppy drive or could add some extra drives (SCSI) and a 9" Black and White screen, no gray or color. I figured out how to upgrade it to 4MB of RAM, it really screamed then, let me tell ya...

Steve

My first Mac was a !!si. One meg of RAM soldered onto the motherboard, cracked my wallet for another. 40 meg hard drive.
Coupled with a Macintosh 13" monitor which was the standard at the time.

Invoice attached to show how far we've come in terms of bang for the buck. I'm typing this on a MacBook Pro I bought last year for $1700.

started in 1986 with a clone 8088 (nec-v20 "turbo") with hercules mono graphics, single 360k floppy drive, dos 2.1, and 640k added a 20 meg! hard drive for like $800..

Zap Comics came out when I was in high school, they weren't my father's comics, LOL. I bet Frog knows what I mean...

Steve


Actually, if your father was into comics at all, that "pre comics code" stuff was pretty heavy in its own right!
As our comic fan-boy Mad knows well, some of the covers are classic!

My dad's comic reading days were in the Twenties, nothing nasty there, but I remember EC comics, lots of blood and gore...

I didn't use the word "books" on purpose, it would have been the comics in the newspapers for dad as far as I know.

Yeah, there actually weren't any "Comic Books" until the "30's, though in 1929, Dell gave us a glimpse of what was to come.

As for the beginning of comic strips, historians actually credit the cave dwellers of Lascaux, France 17,000 years ago!

This actually was the subject of a paper I wrote back in school around 1973!
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?
