[SML] ETC aRFR

[Johnson, Philip]

Back when the Mac was 3000 dollars for the 9 inch screen or the ibm clones with Dos?
 I remember using a gui with the Mac in 86  and then trying to do peachtext on a IBM pc when I moved here to Texas 30 years and trying to kill someone.  Thank God things moved forward.

Deja vu.

Back in the late 80s/early 90s, I was an Apple // user.  Some of you who were around back then may remember us as the most loyal, fanatical bunch of computer users ever.

...But when 3 employees at my theatre needed computers, for the money I had available, I could buy one Mac, with its 9" built-in monochrome monitor, or three IBM clones, with 14" color monitors.  I've been a PC user ever since.
