VideoPro Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Jees, I remember my buddy working at CALCULUS on the Moor, as well as Amigas and ST's they sold high end PC's such as DX2/66's. This is 66mhz as opposed to todays 10,000mhz+ machines £3000 I have one of these: SGI Indigo 2 r10000 List price in 1994 was $40 000, although I paid my employer about £50 when they upgraded a two or three years later. It still works but doesn't see much use because it sounds like a small helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloomdido Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Mid 90s. Escom Pentium 60 with 8 Gig of RAM and a 540 Mb drive running both OS2 and Windows 3.1 That was confusing. It cost £800. They went bust after a while. Before then it was Amstrad PCWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
