I bought my first PC in '88. It was an AST 286 and state-of-the art!
It featured:
. 8 MHz speed (A rocket ship!)
. 40 Mg harddrive (I'll never use all this space)
. 258 KB RAM
. Color monitor
. 101 Key keyboard
. 5 1/4 Floppy Disc Drive
All this for only $2500 or $5085 in 2016 dollars!

2.5 MHz of speed! My desktop is 4.0 GHz. My PC is 1600 times faster than your first PC.
