Two 360k drives. Programme on one, document on the other. Could only have one document open at a time so could not copy and paste from one document to another.

I didn't own one because it cost as much as car.

Actually my first personal PC was a PC-XT, with therefore a 10MB disk drive. But I worked with the original PC. You had one diskette for the compiler and one diskette for your code. And in the middle of the compilation, the compiler would stop and ask you to insert the diskette holding the code of its second pass.
