For many people, originally from the USSR, from those who were interested in computers, the appearance of the first computer was remembered for a lifetime. I was no exception. Here I will tell my story.
I had a Mikrosh computer in my childhood. This is such a small Soviet household computer, proudly referred to as a personal computer: a personal electronic computer.

This point of sale was always deserted, and looked something like this:
Severe aunties in bathrobes who at the time of purchase could professionally ask you a question you didn’t know the answer to and shrug your hands: what customers do we have to work with!

Rarely placed small items under a glass counter with screen-printed price tags. High ceilings and the echo of a half-empty room. All this was fully present, according to unwritten canons.
