Thinking back to all the advances in computing over the last 30 years, I fondly (not so, really) remember my first mobile/traveling computer. The PB (and other tablets for other people) is a God send!
I remember those computers. Little bitty screen and not much computing power. Weighed a ton to carry, but we thought we were at the epitomy of computing. But then, I come from the days of the punch cards.
AT&T 6300 was my first, in 1985. A "whopping" 640K of memory, 20MB HDD, 12" monochrome (green) screen. DOS 2.11 "all" that for $2,500. The printer? an Okidata tractor feed/sheet feed 9-pin. I used it so much I wore out the print head. I've spent over $36K on computer hardware from 85 to date (and another $9,500 on related expenses, such as software, books, etc)
^There's my baby! Aw. She's packed away and I haven't seen her in over a year. But I bought a couple games to boot up once I set her up again. Best thing ever.

My first computer was an Atari 800. 48k (NOT m) ram. I finally bought a 5 1/4" floppy disk drive for external storage... 360megs. I was in the fast lane then LOL
You guys remember the good ole days when you was a kid used to go fishing and would see who could make a rock skip the most times, while getting fussed at about scaring the fish away
