Sanyo Personal Computers
My first computer was a Sanyo MBC-1150 (on the right). It had two 5 1/4 floppy drives and ran the CP/M operating system. I paid about $3500 for it. It came with Wordstar, a spreasheet and database program.
I never used the database or spreadsheet. I was only interested in learning how to use Wordstar so I could put away my typewriter. Learning Wordstar was quite a task and it took a while.
However, I taught myself the program and the first article I ever had published was completed with Wordstar.
The MBC-1100 and MBC-1150 were two 8-bit machines intended for business market. There was no difference between the 1100 and 1150 models except that they left the factory with 1 or 2 drives installed. Eventually, the Sanyo was put aside for a Tandy 1000, later, an Apple IIc and eventually a Gateway Computer and finally a Mac.
