I built an IMSAI S-100 bus that ran CP/M. Remember the pip command?

Started with paper tape, and upgraded to mag tape and then the 8" floppies. Also upgraded to a Z80 card. With an extra 4K of memory. That cost real money.

We have it good today with cheap and fast computers.

And I am grateful.

We do have it easy today. That PS2/50 cost me $4500, which was (and still is) a lot of bucks in '82.

The good old days, huh?
