   @thomasfuchs Quite the very first PC with a color monitor in my family (in 1993): not a DELL, but a 486-SX 25 MHz, 4 MiB of RAM, HDD 128 MiB. I don’t know its price (I was 8…), but I guess that it was like several months of salary for my parents, at that time.

     @Chancerubbage @thomasfuchs In the early 90s I only worked with a DECStation (Ultrix) or IBM RS/6000 (AIX). Not mine of course.

     In the 90s, when Mac’s were starting to look sketchy, mismanaged due to retail needs and Motorola clones, I seriously considered a silicon Graphics low end.
