To think now you can get just about as much computing power as that with a palm sized computer now days, and for only about $300 at most! The leaps of technology even in the time period that I've been around computers is astrinomical

I still don't remember what I did before the digitalness took over my life...although I was pretty much born into it. I had my first "Computer" by four (it was a C64, I still love that thing when I can coax it to work )
