These modern beauties didn’t even exist in the 1970s. The standard setup was a NorthStar Horizon and a SOROC IQ-120 terminal running CP/M on 5” SSSD floppies that held 72 kbytes each, and a Diablo daisy wheel printer. Total cost nearly $10k. The word processor app was called the Electric Pencil. (Source: I worked in a computer shop then.)
