    and DOS systems like us? Did you program and load your games in
    multiple incompatible dialects of BASIC? Watch and reflect back with us
    to the days of tape drives, floppy disks, laserdiscs, CRTs, dial-up
    modems and dot matrix printers!

    I was given a used kaypro computer back in 1992, and cp/m was not fun to use. Gave away the collection 6 years later to a collector.

    I borrowed a Kaypro laptop in 1991 and I remember it having MS-DOS on it.

    It can depend on the version your using. I learned CP/M on a Wang minicomputer and I loved it. It was the first OS I learned and I became rather proficient with it.

    I would have guessed that you love the wang.
