My first computer had no hard drive or floppy drive. It was an original Apple ][. No monitor either, but it plugged into the TV, and output UPPER CASE only! When I turned it off, everything I had done vanished. After a while, I plugged in a CASSETTE tape recorder, so I could save programs I was writing. It was cumbersome, very, very, very slow, and very, very very unreliable.
Of course, soon I acquired a 5 in floppy drive. Then, a monitor. Then, a lower case card. Then extra RAM. Then another floppy. Then a sound card. The rest is history. Expensive history.
