My personal 1st was a Commodore Vic-16. I felt I would need the memory expansion so I upgraded the memory to 32 K. The memory module would get so hot it would almost burn skin. The cassette drive would take several minutes to load a 16k program.
At work we bought a 4.77 Mhz IBM PC with DOS 1.1. No hard drive, just monochrome monitor & two 360K floppies. It was over 5 grand. At home I evolved to a Commodore 64 and finally a Compaq "portable" that weighed something like 30 pounds. I converted the hard drive from MFM to RLL format and got it up to a whopping 32 Mb. running DOS 2.2. I still have the DOS 2.2 system floppies. That was just about the time DOS 3.0 came out.
I still have a Microsoft mouse that says Patent Pending. It has a steel roller ball and two big green buttons and the big wide serial connection.
