I had the fastest mainframes (except Crays) at my fingertips since I was a teen and for 3 more decades tho... and high-end servers .
The M6800 micro-processor communnications device I was learning microcode on at IBM in '84 was around $200K back then too .....

I still have my Microsoft mouse, with patent pending.
It came with my copy of Windows 386.
I still have my 5.25 inch floppy for Compuserve I used on my Commodore 64. I actually bought a pair of Levis on Compuserve. 300 baud, no graphics at all, just text, and it came down so slow I could read it as it filled the screen. Compuserve charged by the minute of connection time. It was insane expensive at that slow of a speed. I killed it after one month.
It still astonishes me to have a "gigabyte" internet speed, and a computer with 256 gig of RAM, and 18 TB of total storage, with two high end video cards in it, and I have had it for about three years.
