I'm of a similar era. I remember that when I started working after school most of us had VT220's on our desks, and a lucky few had IBM 8086 desktops.
The manager of our unit had a Compac ("lug-able") portable computer.
We were all so envious!!! The funny thing is that he was about 6'-2" and used to be hunched over his desk working it. In hindsight he really should have had one of these
magnifier screens!
