Kaypro-2/4 (Score 1)

At school we used some DEC operating system, and it came with the PIP program. When I ran into a computer store and saw it had an operating system (CP/M 2.2) with the PIP command [PIP copies files, amongst], I was sold. Saved up money, 6700 dutch guilders at the time, and the rest is history. Not much later I sold it, to replace it with a Kaypro-4, which has double density diskettes, 360K i thiink it was. 64k memory. But I later had some memory extension, where parts of the OS resided, and I learned how to modify the OS, ZCPR was the CP/M open source version. I would run C, Fortran and tex (for my thesis) on it, just because I could. The Kaypro was later replaced by a second hand $800 AT&T 3b1, and after that a 386SX that booted linux very very slowly..... I managed to never have to get DOS or Windows, I still have the kaypro. I used to play "ladder". It booted until 2010 or so, but the bootfloppy has issues. Perhaps will swap it with the other floppy and see if it still boots. Fun times.
