I didn't say that was my first PC above. So AGAIN (
) I have you all beat! I had what you had in 1982 back in 1977! I had a CP/M system with 64K RAM (imagine that back this early), dual 5.25" floppies, and built in monitor. Graphics cards were rare in these days so I only had text, but still... I might still be able to produce an 8" floppy from another CP/M system, but I have no idea where it would be right now. Probably in storage.
Beat that!

PS. The above system had a 5 digit price tag in its day in case you were wondering. Was my fathers, and it was given to him by someone that owed him $$$, and he had no idea what to do with it, so it ended up on my desk.
