What are your memories of all things Wolfram ?

Just for the logs: Bought back in 1991 a Macintosh LC just because it could run Mathematica 1.1.

The package (Mathematica and the Mac) was very expensive (twice the monthly salary), but had the option to upgrade without extra costs to Mathematica 1.2. The Mac had a black-white display, by default 2 MB RAM and a 40 MB hard disk. We expanded the RAM to 10 MB and some colleagues asked: What is that good for? Why do you need so much memory?

By the way, at that time (1991) you got Seasons Greetings from Wolfram Research, which was really lovely.

Thank you, @George Woodrow III, this is a nice memory! I did correct the wander typo now ;-) I hope some other folks will share their memories and thoughts too.
