Just a year or so later I got my first computer: an IBM PC XT with a 10MB hard drive. Its only program was a word processor, and the only way to get information into it or out of it was through a big floppy disk. (Really floppy -- not one of those square hard plastic things that came along a little later.) I used to stare at the DOS login command and think there must be so much more locked inside it than white text floating on a dark screen -- but I could hardly have imagined.
