The first computer I worked on was a TRS-80 (trash 80) with dual 5.25 floppy drives. The first computer I owned was an IBM portable. It was called partable bacause it had a carry case. It weighed about 40 pounds and some people I know even carried these monsters around! This computer had dual 3.5 drives and an attached printer that could be used with pin feed thermal paper or you could buy a ribbon and print on regular paper.

Conputers have come a long was since the 1980's!
