How much would you pay for a PC with 128KB RAM, and no hard disk?

In today’s money (inflation adjusted)

    We actually had one of those Macintosh 128 K machines in the lower left. My dad got two external floppy drives for it. The first lesson I remember learning, that I still remember is when the dialog box asks:

    {Disk Read Error, [Abort][Retry][Initialize]?}

    Initialize is Never ever ever the correct option.

      Assuming “Initialize” reformatted the disk and preped it to be used fresh?

        Correct, and that could be very problematic depending on the disc I had grabbed
