What year is this from????

I remember the first computer my dad bought in 1987 - a 1984 IBM PC XT 8086, 640k RAM, 10Mb hard drive, 5.25" floppy, no modem, 16 color monitor, MS-DOS 3.31, $2500 used.

He's still using it!! It's a ROCK! The ONLY time anything was done to it was when he added a 3.5" floppy drive to the 5.25", and I added a Microsoft 14000 baud (before it was standardized to 14.4) modem.

(shudder,cringe!) Man, how far we've progressed.
