So to get the graphic chips that could handle business graphics (Word & 1-2-3 for Windows) or business audio (any sound beyond the ding meaning that your entire days work in one file was now screwed), you had to write out a business justification. Oh, and ethernet cards were 600 dollar add-ons. Needless to say, time has moved on, and we expect all the above for free, as a given, in computers, as they have come to be considered basics for productivity.
