My first computer was an Osborne One, CPM80 based, 256K of ram, with TWO single side single density disk drives (92K each!) and a five inch green phosphorus monitor. Truly the first "luggable" it weighed 23 pounds. Cost me $1999 in 1983, which would be about $4,000 or so in today's dollars.
Ran my first business on it for 5 years. Should have bought a bunch of notebooks and pens instead. But "Ya Learn"....
