Got my start on a Model III. Upgraded it to 48k and floppies running LDOS.

  Model I here. Started out with the base 4k and cassette storage. Over time, my dad invested in the expansion interface, 48k, the lowercase character-generator, and eventually four floppy drives, and LDOS (which I remember loving). He really sacrificed to give me a head start. Miss you, dad. I used to drool over pictures of the Model 4 in the catalogs.

    In the late 1990's, I briefly worked with one of the founders of Galactic Software, the firm that created LDOS. I commented to him that after nearly 20 years LDOS still felt more powerful than MS-DOS. He agreed with me, and explained how many Unix type features such as pipes and a real shell they had implemented.
