Why would anyone need this much memory?

Thousands probably lol.

Usually between 8 and 12 thousand dollars when that size became available to end users. I was just a little kid around that time. Course my first PC in the early 90s was a 486 25Mhz, (no math coprocessor), 2MB rams, 85MB hdd, windows 3.1 with Dos 5.5, I think it cost me a couple hundred later on to get that up to 16MB. So having survived a 486/25 , not sure if I could have handled something to the likes of an Apple II or earlier. Though I did enjoy my Tandy PC-6.
 
My first was 8k ram, 75mhz proc.
It was either not 8k (but 8m) or it was not 75mhz.

That amount of ram and that clock speed are from different generations. Unless you had a calculator that pushed 75mhz.

But yeah, shit has changed a lot.

true.

my first pc had 90 mhz,8mb ram and 853 mb disk space.

i remember we were talking about how 10 gb might be the future ("who needs all that space??").

My first. I think it was 1985 or so.

I don't even know the specs on this beast. I'd have to look it up. Blazing fast, though. Especially with the tape recorder add-on.

Don't be hatin' on my Tandy Color Computer II, yo.

I had one of those. Didn't even have a monitor, hooked it to the TV just like the Atari.



I also used the cassette drive, least it was smaller than this (250MB):
