I understand, but many people would much rather do word processing on
a more conventional machine, simply in the interest of productivity
(I doubt anyone wants to go through a routine of converting files
back and forth. I strongly doubt TeX would run on a regular IMSAI
with reasonable speed).
Well, your can do tons of serious work with one.
IT runs several OSs (CPM being well known)
Code and application development (asm, basic, Pascal, Cobol,
fortran....)
word processing
Graphics work (with the appropriate board)
Accounting
spread sheets (multiplan)
Games, deadline, Zaxxon, Adventure, chess...long list.
In a word most anything you might imagine.
My s100 NS* system is one example that is still doing many of those
things.
