No idea but in my mum's cellar I found an old memory expansion chip for a BBC Micro - it was huge and could hold a whopping 16k of memory!

No idea, but my first laptop cost £2200 and had 1Mb of RAM and a 256 shades of grey display.

The first scanner I saw (in 1991) cost my employers £2,500 and had to be calibrated every morning on start-up.

I say every morning, but as they quickly realised it was rubbish, it was never used so it was unplugged and just sat in the corner.

Sadly the ZX80 and 81 got nicked years ago, but I do have a minty Atari 400 sitting upstairs. 64K ram pack for the 81 cost me £75!

It's slightly scary that our current crop of 1st year degree students hadn't even been born then!
