Looking at those ads I remembered my first experience with a real PC some 23-24 years back.
A 8086 model with 640 K ram & two 5.25 inch floppy drives where u loaded the operating system & the software in one drive & ur user storage in the other drive.

b) PC/XT - 8086 CPU/256~640 KB RAM/1 HDD 10 MB/1 x 5.25" floppy (1.2 MB)
c) PC/AT - CPU upgraded to 80286 and later 80386
d) PC 486 - 80486 CPU/640 KB RAM/ 384 KB extended RAM/ 1 HDD 40 MB/1 x 5.25" floppy (1.2 MB) or 1 x 3.5" floppy (1.44 MB)

Will it be inappropriate to say that i am typing this out from the very first PC i had laid my hands on?

This is a P4 @ 2Ghz bought back in 2002.
