Is that from a PC magazine? I should get out some of mine from early 2000 and scan in the stuff from that...

1977!

Gorilla Banana Dot Matrix Printer from 1983 Yeah I had one of those too! At that time I was using a Sanyo MBC-550 which had an NEC-V20 CPU at 4.77MHz, dual 180k floppies, 256KB RAM (a lot for then!) and a monochrome video adapter with 640x240 resolution.

Incidentally, I'm using a P991 19" right now and it still works and looks beautiful. Best part is, I got it from my university's surplus store, which means I got it for 20 bucks OTD 😀 Awesome, awesome crt.

Ram and other stuff got hideously expensive after the earth quakes in the late 90s in Taiwan.
