My first one was an old Amstrad laptop. I bought it at a pawnshop for $100; so, I'm not sure when it was made. Not sure what the memory was; but, it wasn't much. Instead of a hard drive, it had 2 floppy drives (can't remember if they were 5 1/4 or 3 1/2), one of which had to have a Windows 3.1 OS disk in it for it to run. It seems like I could take the Win3.1 disk out after it loaded; and, I could stick other disks in to use other programs; then, I could save my work to a blank floppy in the other drive slot. It's still buried out in one of my storage trailers. Maybe it's time to dig it out, dust it off, and see what it would bring on

Finally, I upgraded to a 386 desktop. (Still running Win3.1.) I think it had 1 or 2 megs of ram; and, a 10 meg hard drive. I thought I was really "moving up" when I upgraded it to 4 megs of memory and a 40 meg hard drive! It turned into a 486 after I fried the motherboard by trying to upgrade the modem without taking my shoes off first.
