The Macintosh 128K (that was your RAM) screamed along at 8 MHz, 
featured two serial ports and could accommodate one 3.5-inch floppy disc. It ran the Mac OS 1.0, came with a 9-inch black-and-white monitor and sold for a cool $2,500 (the equivalent of $5,000 in today's dollars)
The Macintosh 128K hit the market two days after it was announced to the world in the now-legendary commercial aired during Super Bowl XVIII.
and so it began... I can't believe I'm going to say this, but "Thanks Uncle Biff" ....for telling my dad all the reasons why Apple was the better choice vs IBM.
.... 24 years later, I'm sitting here blogging, wirelessly, about Apple computers on a MacBook Pro.... 667 MHz & 2GB RAM, 15.4 inch color monitor, DVD/CD superdrive, running OS 10.5 & so much more, that people couldn't even fathom would be possible back in '84. (not to mention things like macbook air, ipod, iphone, appleTV, or TimeCapsule!)
