Hi Chris,
I thought you were too young to remember CP/M. Since you were in the US in
the 80s, you may have encountered something similar to my second machine.
The USAF had a contract with Zenith to furnish 286 machines. I managed a
project that qualified for a computer purchase, so I got a Zenith 286 with
two 20Mb hard drives, and took all of the computer courses that were offered
locally. I bought my own 286 for home use from Dell, when it still sold its
wares under the name "PCs Limited".
