Don't remember the brand, but it only ran MS DOS - it has green characters against a black/gray background, and had a modem cradle. I could dial into the company where I worked and actually worked from home a few days a week for a time, until a new supervisor took over and did not believe in "working from home"!
It was mind blowing that I could access the same files at home, electronically, that I could at work!
The connection to the memory was completely unreliable and it ran hot. The membrane keyboard quickly became a problem. Went to a C64 and never looked back.

Ours was in the mid-70s before the Commodore, a Compupro (we knew the owner) with a Hazeltine monochrome (green) monitor/built-in keyboard, two 8" floppy drives that held 720k each, and 64K memory. The operating system was CPM, and we had Basic, Wordstar & Visicalc software.
Real computer? IBM - PC1. Pretend computer? Atari 400.
