| | In those days computers were so big and specswise so small compared to today's systems. And the prices are also too much. Not everyone can afford the computers those days. My first personal computer in 1982 was Tandy TRS-80, and I could do only Basic on that computer. We have come a long way in computing in these 30+ years. |
