33 years ... hmmmm ... 23 years ago I was using WordStar on a multiuser CPM machine using 64K Z-80 processors - and with a whopping 10 meg hard drive that was the size of a breadbox. Televideo terminal and a daisy-wheel printer finished the package.

Man, you had a fancy system. I had 2 5.25 floppies (no hard drive). The ROM ate up 4 or 5K of memory, so I only had about 59K usable by the system. I still have the daisy wheel printer and the computer in a closet. I did find a site the other day where you can download various flavors of CP/M.

You had a hard drive? What were you, rich?

I think I still have some 8-/12 Inch floppies around here somewhere.
