Sharp still standing strong more than 100 years later in Japan. Didn't know they made personal computers back then

I learned programming on a Sharp MZ-80K. Rectangular sheet metal case with an amber monochrome monitor and a built in cassette tape drive for storage. The keyboard keys were neatly squared up, zero ergonomics. You could flip it open like the hood of a car. And I faintly recall that there was some kind of UV erasable EEprom inside, not sure what for.

Everyone made personal computers in the late 70's and early 80's. It was the latest corporate fad.
