The OS floppies you kept in your OS box....then you went to your APPS box and proceeded to get the 8-10 floppies so you could load LOTUS 1-2-3......or Word.........it usually took about 15 minutes to get your computer so you could use it......kinda like Vista today

I had a V20 chip, not a 8086 or 8088. Dual 360K, double-sided FDDs. Big 256K of memory. Eventually managed to buy a 30 Meg RLL hard drive for $650.00 (dealer cost). Big-time performance, buddy
