My first computer was a Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80 around 1972. It had 16K of memory and I boosted it up to an amazing 48K of memory!! I installed two double-density, double-sided 5 1/4" floppy drives for an amazing storage of 360K each!! With the supplied Manuel I taught myself to wright programs in Basis. I used it in my CPA practice for years with an Epson MX-80 bi-directional dot-matrix printer with a speed of 80 cps!! We said "nobody could type that fast!!!".
