I remember using one of those back in the late 80s. We ran some rudimentry graphics program on them in our office. It had a black and white screen, and it had no hard drive, everything ran off the floppy. Programs, your files, everything. And I'm not talking these high density 1.4m disk, I'm talking the normal 750k disk. If you had a particually large program you were running, you wound up swapping floppies constantly during a session.
