@metin Since you seem interested in graphics, had basically none; single line of 24? chars, until someone found a way to derail BASIC interpreter and access the first columns of pixels.
You could access pixels natively on , but again display was small. 4 colors plotter was amazing.
had an interesting font with symbols
could display 40 or 80 columns text and 2 switchable graphic pages, all ORed together. Could be used for page flipping, etc.

@metin First personal computer I touched in 1980 was a (80-20?), thanks to a high school professor that gave me access to one

Then I had several computers, a that my father bought, then temporary access to a (with small plotter!), and , thanks to a Sharp reseller (Mr , in ).
Got my first clone in 1983 or 1984.
