I think the Babbage Difference Engine, didn't have any storage. It would "print" out answers and that was it.


Here ya go. I still have this and it still works.

HP Vectra VA (original Pentium Pro, 96KB of RAM and a vid card with 4KB of Vram. It has 1.2GB and 2.1 GB hard drives.
I put XP on one, and Diablo II on the other.

XP and D2 actually... ran. I could get onto Battle.net and into channel. I could even join a game. But once in Act I town, in the game... I couldn't move.

Omg... I had a Vectra VL166. The power button/LED combo was the coolest thing ever and the case weighted a LOT. I even painted mine black.

Quite amazing how far we've come. The next 20 years will be wild, the technology is only going to accelerate faster.
