Around 1983 I got a Morrow Microdecision with two floppies.
No hard drive or mouse. It did come with COBOL.
It failed after 23 lines of text entry. Turned out the CPU was defective.
People kept asking me, “Dude, what do you need a computer for?”
Serious question: What did you use that computer for? So, did you just learn to write cobol and make your own programs?
I do have a funny story about the place I got it in San Francisco, of you care to hear it.
So what’s the story man? Come on, some of us are invested already.
Absolutely! Please do continue.
I just used it for writing papers in college.
I had no idea how to use COBOL.
Ok, so it was more like a digital typewriter to you.
