Haha. I wanted to buy an Imsai or an Altair and my then wife refused so I got rid of her.
My first PC did not have an OS nor disk drives - TRS-80 Model 1 purchased in 1980 - before IBM PC came out. Storage was on cassettes. Apps were written in Basic cayuse there were no apps then. Still have it BTW.
I also still have MS - DOS vers 1.01 (1.0 was not released) and Windows version 1.0 disks. Too bad I tossed the documentation when I moved from Boston. Sigh.
And yeah - I predate the WWW as well. Remember when it first popped on the scene. I said HS!!!!!! Big thing in those days was Usenet. In the early days I was an Internet Abuse Administrator. And I was an early member of BCS - Bandwidth Conservation Society.
And yes, I understand about apps written for a specific use cause there was no such thing as ready to use programs. I used to write a lot of code - mostly in one of the original PC database programs - dBase II. Millions of lines of code. Big $$$
