When removing a DIMM or a RIMM and using proper ESD prevention techniques, push down on

We have come a long way since the Commodore 64, Atari 400, T I 99, and the Tandy.

had to save it to a cassette tape recorder.
These all used a 8 bit

The IBM PC was very expensive, so the primary market was business. An IBM PC cost
as much as a new car!
