To my delight, I also found that we still have some floppy disks to accompany the device!

Reflecting on its history, I remember my dad using this computer in his classes, making it a practical companion for his educational journey. It’s fascinating to see how far technology has evolved since then, and I can’t help but appreciate the craftsmanship and significance of this portable machine.
