Another early adopter here.... Radio Shack TRS-80 (trash 80, it was called) with black/white monitor, basic programming language, and cassette tape storage. This was probably about 1980.
Next one was an Osborne "portable" (only because it had a handle; it weighed 27 pounds). Paid $1,800 for it. Woo hoo 5.25 floppy drives for programs and storage. A 5MB hard drive cost well over $500 to add on.
