those were the days,
first computer had CMP as the OS, and a ? would appear in the far upper left
screen corner, then you had to break out the manuals.
64k memory which cost $400 back then
the disk drive was 8 inch single sided, which I bought used off west coast
($350)
this was a single board computer called the Furgerson or Big Board I
I think I paid $1,200 for all of It, but I had to package it and add the
powes supply.
$400 buys a killer small box computer from Acer today!

anyhow still thinking of buying a new mustang 2013, a lot of price
compression, 2012 to 2014 just a few thousand apart.
