My first computer was a home brew based on the S-100 bus.  The pc boards 
were in kit form.

This was a Z80 system with 64K of ram and two 8 inch floppies.  Each floppy 
would hold 128k.  The operating system was CP/M.

Back then, you could say you were the only one in the neighborhood that had 
a computer.
