we called it the Green Monster and spoke to it in DOS and saved data on floppy disks (before diskettes) wow, that takes me back........

My first computer was only 40 columns!

I never used one. But had seen them. I have an uncle who still has one. He uses it to pick lotto numbers with the ramdon function.
