Also wimped
out on paying $200 for an IBM 5100 ...
What's a 5100?
IBM's first PC, maybe 1977, about $20,000 then. Had BASIC
and APL if you were lucky. Only the APL had graphics, a huge
incentive to learn APL.
1972: DEC
PDP11/10 + LPS + O'Scope, unconfigured
What's LPS?
Laboratory Peripheral System. As large as a small PDP11.
A collection of I/O's including DACs and ADCs, with some
other knobs and switches.
