I did not know what to with all that space!
Lord, that takes me back! My first 'computer' was a build-it-yourself kit from Texas Instruments. After that was a series of Ataris; 400, 800XL, and finally the Mega-4!
The Mega-4 was actually a surprisingly capable machine, and the Gem OS was rock-solid. And if, like me and most of my friends at the time, you tended to write your own software, it could run rings around most anything else then available that wasn't a mainframe (remember those?).
(Much pointless rambling of days-gone-by edited out by poster after deciding nobody here needs that much boredom)
Ah, memories!

Hey Bob, I was running Gem on the first 386 I bought, there was some great text manipulation software for it!
BTW this thread is for some nostalgic rambling

That was actually the first piece of software I purchased for my then new computer in 1989.

I can remember playing with GEM (on a Xerox PC - I don't remember which one), but I don't think I ever got anything to run on it.
