    I was given a used kaypro computer back in 1992, and cp/m was not fun to use.
    Gave away the collection 6 years later to a collector.

    I borrowed a Kaypro laptop in 1991 and I remember it having MS-DOS on it.

    It can depend on the version your using. I learned CP/M on a Wang minicomputer and I loved it. It was the first OS I learned and I became rather proficient with it.

    I would have guessed that you love the wang.
