That’s true. Those computers were okay if you wanted to learn to program a computer, or if you wanted to hire someone to do software for your specific business. Otherwise they were worthless to the home user.
My first computer was a TRS-80 Model I with 4K of RAM and no disc drive. It didn’t take me long to realize I didn’t want to be a computer programmer.

The office where I worked used the CP/M machines just fine. Wordstar and Calcstar were two end-user apps I remember the folks in the front office using.
I worked for the company that made my CP/M machine and believe me, most of our sales were not to programmers or hobbyists.
