My first exposure to "real" computers was with Victor machines. I may well have one in a pile somewhere still. I worked for a shop that was a Victor dealer, they had the fabled "PC compatible floppy drive" in a machine there. Later I was one of the few people with a PC that could read Victor disks; Copy2PC card For Tha Win there.

They did "high memory" and iirc had slightly higher resolution text modes, which made them wonderful for spreadsheets.
