We had that same LaserJet 4 Plus printer. Actually still had it until about a year ago. :lol:

Back in the day we had a 100mhz 486dx4 computer, and all my computer geek friends were jealous. It even had a TURBO button on the front.
 
Holy crap! A 14.4 modem AND a Quad speed CD drive!

And it's somewhat sad that normal average seek times on today's 7200 RPM mechanical hard drives are still around 9-10 ms. You have to move up to 10000 RPM VelociRaptors and such to get lower seek times.

My friend actually recently got a Tandy computer(RadioShack brand) and Tandy Monitor from a Priest and it had a 486sx 66MHz cpu and 18MB of memory with a 3GB Maxtor HDD! It ran Windows 95 and was made in 1998. I checked the hard drive's smart data and it was perfectly fine!

Now to get back on topic:

We ditched ours about two years ago, toner was getting pricey, and we didn't want to pay for a new drum...Every couple of pages would be completely gray. Kind of miss it, but the internal memory could only handle 2-3 pages at a time. We inherited it from a bank closure for $20, back in '98, and I didn't realize how much that listed for, to be honest.

Ah, memory lane...I'm not going to bore you with tales of how amazing this stuff was compared to the slow stuff I was using at the time of that ad...
 
^ I love how she proved herself wrong about spell check there :lol:

And that old computer ads is hysterical! 1MB memory! :lol:

Funny thing is, 15 years from now we will be laughing at what we have today ;)

Yeah, that's how we rolled back then.
My first PC was a 386 25Mhz. It had the well known Turbo function, pushing it all the way to a staggering 33Mhz. Which was plenty for the software back then. 1Mb RAM and 130Mb HDD.
I had Geoff Crammond's F1GP (1991 or 1992, can't recall precisely) crammed in a single 1.4Mb FloppyDisk which I carried around to my friends' houses. 👍
