In 1995 an episode of Friends began with Chandler showing off his new state-of-the-art laptop: with 12 megabytes RAM, a 500 megabytes harddrive, and a built-in modem communicating at 0.028 megabytes per second. And it had built-in spreadsheet capability!
In 1995 my computer at work was an Apple of some sort, with a fairly big screen. It had a huuuuuge harddrive: 1 gigabyte. Nobody I knew had a 1GB harddrive. Downside was: all files were stored on my computer, so if somebody on the network accessed a file, my computer would slow down to near standstill.
At home I had a PC from the stone-age (probably around 1991), still running on DOS. The type and images of Larry the Lounge Lizard on the monitor was grey. I upgraded to Windows 95 about two years later.
