My wife was working for a company that had ported its database to the IBM
PC.

So we got a loan from the credit union and bought a PC for $5,000.

It had:

 - 10 MB HD (but we saved money by adding one to a PC, not by buying an XT)

 - 640K of RAM (maxed out, and more than $1000 of the price was bumping it
up from 64(128?) K)

 - Ergonomically superior "orange on black" monitor with Hercules graphics
card to do graphics, like pie charts and such.
