My first computer was a CP/M system, with dual 320K floppies, and built in monitor in 1977! Some company couldn't pay my father so they dumped that demo on him instead. My father had no idea what to do with it, so he dumped it on my desk shortly after!
In 1977, this kind of horsepower costs about $10K.
I upgraded to the MC-10 in 1983.

I had 4k of memory, but one day, I splurged for a massive 16K module! I mean, I was used to 64k all these years! The MC-10 was an upgrade though - it had graphics! Only text on the CP/M system. Graphics was a distant thought in those days.
