Fascinating!  I bought the Commodore 128 in 1986 and used it for doing 
things like printing customized airway bills for my customers (at the 
time I was in outside sales for an international air freight 
forwarder).  I had it and used it when I went back to college in 1988.  
Learned most of my BASIC programming on that machine.  It could be run 
CPM or something like DOS (not real DOS, but something like it).  When I 
bought my 'luggable' lunch-box-style portable computer (40Mb hard drive, 
LED screen, 640K RAM), I continued to use the Commodore as my second or 
stand-by machine.  By the time I moved back to my family farm in 
Michigan (1991), the Commodore was just something I couldn't quite let 
go of, but never really used - except for the monitor - that was one 
really nice monitor!
