Likewise here. I learned to program in high school, finished freshman year of college, and got a summer internship at a computer facility. I gave myself a budget of $1000 for a complete computer with printer, that would let me do word processing and programming. The Sanyo won out. It got me through college. It ran MS-DOS but was not "PC compatible" meaning it wouldn't run PC software that was hard coded for the weird IBM PC memory map. But my dad got me a copy of Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS, for my birthday, and it ran on my Sanyo, so I was perfectly happy with my setup.
