Yeah, kilobyters, how quaint, you are correct of course.

I think that computer had 540 kb of RAM.  I later upgraded it at some cost to a 386 processor and expanded the RAM.  It really didn't help.

Mine must have had 129 Kb.  I remember that there was some function that came along that would double that to (I guess) 258 Kb.  That sounds like an odd number, though.

Here's an ad that showed up a Google search of "sears computer ad 1988."



That's more computer than mine was.

I have stored data/programs on punch cards, reel tape, paper tape, cassette tapes, floppy drives, large hard drives (that were marvels at the time), and RAM.

The 029 IBM card punch machine was a marvel.  No erase or backspace though.

I like mustard on a hot dog.  And chili, chopped onions, grated cheese.

But not ketchup.
