Ah, the good ol' days
My first exposure to computers was back in the days of the Apple II -- not even the IIe, but the II+ that preceded it. Ah, the good old days when you didn't have hard drives, your OS loaded on a 5.25" floppy, & you then switched it out for another floppy to save your programs -- & you could save a bit of money by buying the "single-sided" 720kB floppies (where you had to actually flip the disk over to , use a single hole punch, & convert them into "double-sided" floppies

Of course, it also had to compete against the Commodore VIC-20 & 64, the various Amigas, the *Atari* computers (Atari 400 & 800), & even Texas Instruments (oh, the hated "membrane" keyboards!).
