The first home PC I saw was one of the original Tandys; for 64 KB you’d need to daisy-chan some external drives. My man bought that computer for the novelty to enter his customer base. Back then there was no “software” to buy and load, so I went to a programming class at his younger daughter’s school (night class for adults) and learned to write a data base (did that and entered the first few hundred customers, showing him how to do that also).

Big Chief is right! Back then, they built things to last, not like the planned obsolescence we have today.
