PC Hardware History

I will try and keep this relevant to the site...If you are going to listen to anything I have to say on these pages, then you need to know a bit about me. Specifically my techy knowledge. Too many sites out there tout VERY bad information and advice, but this is normally because they haven't got a clue what they are talking about...and any idiot can register a website and give out advice! IBM XT I got my first computer at the age of 10. Actually, my parents gave the computer to my brother, my sister and myself. However, I was the only one interested in it. This was 1990 and I was living in South Africa. It was an IBM XT, with a 4.77mhz 8086 processor. It had 2 floppy drives (360kb, 5¼ inch), no harddrive, and 512kb RAM. It came with a monochrome monitor. I pulled it apart within a day just to see how it worked...my dad then pulled out the belt to see how that worked...
