I remember when I first saw the HP150. It was March 1984 when I went
to look for a home system (having decided earlier that the IBM PC did
not offer anything different/better than the machines at work.) It was
in the same store as the first Macintosh. Put them side-by-side, and
the choice was easy.

Yes, I had used the HP120 at work a couple years earlier. That was my
first exposure to VisiCalc.
