Well, CP/M was the first OS in the home for me. Had to  
build that beast - H89. We got the children an Apple II a  
few years later to get them off the CP/M machine. For all  
of that, I rather wish I'd gone ahead and gotten the H-DOS  
system also - with loadable device drivers and some other  
goodness.

I also got a Fortune16 (or something like that) Unix box  
using 68000 in the late 1980's.
