Heck, my first computer experiences were on an old DEC mainframe (want to say it was a 3270 terminal). Writing out BASIC code. But yes, had to load the DOS (pre-MS) from a floppy at every boot up. GAH!
I remember playing with the idea of buying a TRS80... (ugh! Radio Shack... gone but not forgotten) but opted to wait for the Apple II (+) once I started to look into the 6502... design.
Those were the old days... not so good, but at least I was in control of the machine... not the OS manufacturer.
