You guys got into computers after they had advanced quite a bit. My first, a Commodore 64 was all I used for more than 5 years, producing newspaper columns and magazine articles every day, the modem was horribly slow, 300 baud (I could type faster than that.), all the programs were on 5-1/4-inch floppy disks, and including the printer, that rig cost me about $600 back then.

For the music biz, I still use that 9-inch Acer Aspire, under $200, I just updated the memory, and it runs like greased lightning. Guess I'll stick with this dark ages stuff and piss the money away on sunshine and margarettas this winter.

Cheers,

Gary
