What you are missing is that I don't ever recall mentioning 1981 or 1982!!
Why has that assumption been made?
No you're right I've muddled up all the posts, put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5, apologies.

apparently in 1981 1Gb of storage cost £300,000 yet today, it's about 10p !! The human race is developing as if it were in a race !!
I remember our first computer, an Amstrad, had 1Gb of storage. How the hell did we manage?
Wow JBR tht must have been some machine. My first PC was a 286, it came with 0.5mb of memory and was upgradeable to a maximum 4mb. Memory cost in the region of £50 per mb. Computers use to get stolen, and dumped, the thieves only wanted the memory from them. It was the most expensive item in them, easily removed, easily concealed due to its size, and there was high demand for it.
Memory chips were the gold dust of the day.
YES - I MEAN MBs NOT GBs!!
I think your confusing memory with hard drive
No, not at all. I think it had a massive 40mb Hard Dive. What makes you think that?
You are deffo confused in 1981 a computer (PC) would not understand memory addresses beyond 640k
What I stated is correct.

My first PC was an IBM XT with 256MB RAM (non-expandable) and twin floppy drives. One of the 360kB drives I replaced with a 720kB 3.5" drive. This machine would run Wordstar 4 and As-Easy-As (a Lotus 123 clone) The first machine I had with a hard drive was a 286 I built myself (1MB RAM) with 20MB IDE hard drive. Don't forget that in those days of DOS 3.3 32MB was the largest hard disk partition which could be supported
