  1. @metin Since you seem interested in graphics, had basically none; single line of 24? chars, until someone found a way to derail BASIC interpreter and access the first columns of pixels.
    You could access pixels natively on , but again display was small. 4 colors plotter was amazing.
    had an interesting font with symbols
    could display 40 or 80 columns text and 2 switchable graphic pages, all ORed together. Could be used for page flipping, etc.

    Then I had several computers, a that my father bought, then temporary access to a (with small plotter!), and , thanks to a Sharp reseller (Mr , in ).
    Got my first clone in 1983 or 1984.
