Man, how did anyone afford one of those suckers?? My first PC was a used IBM XT that somebody gave us around 1990 or so. No hard drive at all, just floppy. Still have it wrapped up in plastic in the basement.

Styles may change, but the fundamentals stay the same.
I have several comp-sci books from the late 1970s and early 1980s. They all cite examples from the AppleII, the Commodore Pet, and CP/M computers. And all of them can be used today as basic computer science texts -- and the pictures, of course, inspire irony in the hipster segment of the learning population. :)
