My first retail business was a small chain of wallpaper stores. I had bought an IBM PC when they first came out, but the software available for POS(point of sale) was lousy.

So I went shopping for another micro-computer and came up with a perfect machine using CPM and sophisticated POS software that kept all my inventory management and acted as the cash register including a cash drawer activated by the counter Sale completion

Never had a crash, and never even a small glitch and we ran over a million dollars a year through that little machine similiar to Alex's Z80.

Sure wish Bill Gates had the same strategy as the CPM coders.
