These are a little older than my first computer. It was a Hyundai Super 16V with 16-bit Intel 8088 CPU, 640KB RAM, 256KB Paradise VGA, Seagate 40MB hard disk, 5.25" and 3.5" floppy disk drives, color monitor, 84-key XT keyboard and a serial mouse. Initially running MS DOS 3.3 and Volkwriter, later upgraded to MS DOS 5.0 and WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. Bought for about 500000 drachmas back in 1991 (about 1500€ which in 1991 where like 5000€ today).
