It came with just the one 5.25" disk and a spiral-bound guide to BASIC. So the first day I taught myself how to use BASIC, then the second day I programmed some sort of quiz and a program to draw a house. But I had no blank media to save it on and when I turned the machine off it was lost forever. As, on day 3, was the machine itself.
