About 10-years ago, we're talking 1996. I personally carried a 386 laptop computer with an 80 megabyte harddrive, a 15-inch VGA monitor, and 2 MB of memory. It ran Windows 95. It was advanced for its day, weighing only 12 lbs. It took 6 minutes to boot, and had an automatic hibernate mode. There were 486 laptops around. My office computer sported 8 mb of memory and 120 mb of hard disk. We used Seagate and Western Digital harddrives. (Funny, that hasn't changed). DELL was not yet, IBM was still, and we built our own.

Pentium 166/200, 32mb and around 2 gig HD.
But that was a new PC. Most people were still using 66s, and business probably later 486 models.

ah 1996...this was when all the advancements in computer hardware was really starting to pick up. at this period, i think the average hd size was between half a gig and 2 gigs. memory tended to be 16MB to 32MB.

8 megs RAM, few hundred megs hard drive; on a processor that is on a par with the Macs of those days (less than 100 MHz)
