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

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

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

Nah, working for a company providing inventory control and order entry systems for auto parts stores. First computer-related job I had. In many ways, those multiuser CPM machines were vastly superior to anything the IBM PC and DOS worlds came out with for years hence - to add a user, all you had to do was drop in a new slave board and hook up another terminal.
