My cousin had the pocket computer, I always coveted a model III, but my school installed 8 (eventually 16) Apple //e computers networked to a corvus constelation 10MB hard drive. So I ended up with a Apple //e at home.

That was the first computer I really owned too. I still have it and it still works, even so many years later.

10 GB?

10MB, fixed

Makes me feel better about the 2 grand I dropped after I graduated from college on a 1G hard drive.

I think the GP's post originally said 10 GB.

Yes, I corrected after realizing, and having it pointed out.

Look at the asterisk too; that's a bare refurbished drive. It's an additional $1500 for the disk controller.
