"That's the tape drive."
"Tape deck? Why did it have a tape deck?"
"No, tape drive. Kind of like a disk drive, only it used magnetic tape, a cassette, instead of a disk."
"Wow, I bet that could store a lot."
"No, it held about 20 K per side."
"20 K? [laughs] How much memory did it have?"
"Uh, 4 K Ram, and BASIC stored in ROM."
"4 K?! [loud laughter] What year was that, Dad, 1931?!"
My first one was an Apple Mcintosh Plus

More luxurious than the one in the picture. It had an external hard drive that held 20 MBs and had 1 MB memory. I still have it stored for future generations.
