My first desktop was a Mac SE FDHD; i.e. the first Mac ever to come with a high density floppy drive :-). Betwen a whopping 1.4MB of space-per-floppy and a huge 20 MB hard disk, and the fully-upgrade 4 MB of RAM, I was all set!
Weren't they the double-density ones? I seem to remember 360k in the heady days of my first floppy drive - before that it was stretch audio tape. Of course my Spectrum had 48k RAM, whereas my first computer, ZX81 had 1k on board and 4k on an add-on pack that had to be strapped up with insultating tape to stop it wobbling and whiting everything out.With the original 4k ram ...none of that sissy 16k expansion stuff ;-)
Or the 720k drives.

Makes me feel young though... 1k of RAM? Gee whiz. I guess there wasn't much eye candy, huh? :-P.
