To tell the truth the source of all our troubles seems to be
A committee on computers of the I of triple E

#3I had a Gifford S-100 machine. I bought a 40MB hard drive for it for $4K! (Closer to $12K if you count inflation.) All the software I was developing "sat in a little corner" of it, as I put it at the time; I was so happy about how huge it was. Those were the days!
