I'm about to show my age here :) My first Apple was an Apple II+
Mine was an Apple //c in 1984. We bought in preference to the brand new Mac at the time because it had a lot more educational software for it, and the RAM was the same in each (128Kb! - not Mb!!). I also remember buying a 1 Megabyte RAM Card for an Apple IIgs I was using several years later, paying around $700 dollars for it and being happy with that! This card was populated with a veritable forest of 16k chips. Of course, that was in the days when Bill Gates was confidently predicting that no personal computer would ever need more that 640K of RAM.
