I dunno, but my first computer job was back in 1966 .... there were FIVE computers in this city of 100,000 people then - and each new one in town would be almost front page news.\n\nThat computer had 96K RAM .... our company used it for a few years, then needed to expand, so we upgraded (probably for $20,000+!) to a "massive" 192K\n\n(Yes, that is "K", not MB, GB, etc etc!)

Depends on what kind you want, what you want with it for memory, monitor, laptop or desktop...etc\n\n\n$500 to the 1,000's

a few hundred Rand at most.  I wouldn't pay more than 350 Rand for something over five years old.  And that's only if it has Windows and software pre-installed.

Still the same answer.... around $500 to $700

No, I did once, and it cost $100 to come out and $100 an hour, no joke. Nothing is that important, cheaper to buy an new hard drive (as I learned MY lesson...)

Now come on, I remember the computer world when everything was based on vacuum tubes, before transistors & microchips.\nI can still remember HP Basic, Fortran, Cobol, Compiler, et al.\nWin 3.1 was actually a great program in it's time.\nIt, and the other stuff MS developed to run with it, made Bill Gates the richest man in the world.\nIt couldn't have been as bad as some seem to remember.

a decent PC with the most basic components can be found as low as $400USD but according to your specifications I'd be prepared to spend at least $1300USD if you're lucky to find a price. Dell allows for a lot of custamization they have a very reasonable payment plan ($20-$40USD a month) and have decent technical support allow for later upgrades that are relatively easy to do yourself (I installed a CD-RW drive myself with very little hassle and spent under $30)\n\nPS: what country you from?

I know Dell is having a really big sale with 100 dollar rebates. There's one laptop on there, if I recall correctly, that is only about 450 dollars. Which is, in laptop standards, a resonable price.

I think this was the UNIVAC Computer from Remington Rand in 1951.\n\n"On March 31, 1951, the Census Bureau accepted delivery of the first UNIVAC computer. The final cost of constructing the first UNIVAC was close to one million dollars. Forty-six UNIVAC computers were built for both government and business uses. Remington Rand became the first American manufacturers of a commercial computer system. Their first non-government contract was for General Electric's Appliance Park facility in Louisville, Kentucky, who used the UNIVAC computer for a payroll application."\n\nThe history of computers\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa062398.htm
