I still have a Kaypro, and an Amust, ( a "briefcase" portable CP/M system) and the original Commodore Business machine - the CBM 8000. They are sitting on a high shelf in my garage, all still working. Computers were less functional but more fun in those days, we didn't take them for granted as they inspired a degree of awe. You had to write very tight code to work in the small - and very expensive - amount of memory available. Five and a quarter inch floppies and hard drive capacities in ten or twenty meg.
