I miss my Osborne. I had it all in 26 lbs. 64k RAM, 2-90k 5.25” floppies and a 5 inch CRT. CPM for the win!! LOL. And I got it all, with OS, WordStar, SuperCalc II, and DB2 for under $2000.

Built the RS-232 interface and tied it to my Royal electronic typewriter that had a whopping 16 character buffer.

That, my friends was the first computer to be placed on a squadron level desk in the entire USAF — and I did it all out of my own pocket. It was a magical time.
