Actually I'm one of the forgotten ones i.e. Pre Boomer

In the 60's I hired a computer consultant to plot some core analysis for a study I was doing in the Pembina field. The computer would fill a large room and used punched cards.

In the early 70's I purchased a large Commodore calculator for $350.00. It replaced my slide rule.

In the early 80's I purchased my first computer...an IBM AT. It had 10 megabytes of hard disk and 512 kilobytes of RAM memory. It cost me $10,000. and the software cost me $5,000.
