Sorry to quibble, but the first PC wasn't launched until August 12,
1981. So it can't be _over_ 30 years!!
My ability to _remember_ the history of computers is very
distressing. Well, at least I can say that I don't remember Colossus,
tho' I do ante-date it. :-(
I suppose it depends on what you call a PC. My first experience was in
1979 with a State-of-the-art, 16 KB mem, Trash-80. I had ample storage
on my 8-inch floppies that would let me store a whopping 360 KB on a
double sided disk.
Yep. But the 'puter I really enjoyed a lot and was able to get a LOT of
work done on it, was the Kaypro II, which I bought around the end of
March, 1982.....later I bought the 2X, which I highly modified with 4
hard drive, etc. ;)
