My Dad was a little bit of a techie back in the day. We had an Atari and a Coleco game system in the early 80s he was an early adapter for the Beta videotape format (oops), but our first true computer was a Sanyo MBC-55x. We got it in 1983. I seem to remember it costing close to $4000 (probably including the printer).
Ours did not have a color monitor, it was monochrome green. I still remember the demo software that drew the Sanyo Logo on screen. I thought it was the neatest thing at the time. It had a Word Processor called Wordstar that was difficult to use, but worked okay. There were spreadsheet and database programs as well, but I could not figure those ones out. Two 5.25" floppy drives, and no hard drive and ran at a blistering 4.77mHz. I inherited it in about '86 when we got a 286 and by then it was pretty much obsolete.
It's amazing how far things have come since then.
Anyone else remember their first computer?
