On January 1, 1980, the very first IBM personal computer was born. it sported a blazing fast 4.77MHz 8086 CPU, 256KB RAM, and PC-DOS. at one time, that was a fast, capable machine selling for over a couple grand!
Hard to believe that this is where it all started ^^^
The picture is of a IBM Personal Computer XT, a rather fancy name which was proudly emblazoned on the computer's nameplate. i remember the lights dimming every time i flicked that big orange switch on the right hand rear of the machine as its 250W power supply literally roared to life!
