You guys are way young. Mine was a Commodore 64 bought with a student loan near the end of my doctoral work. That was the big one for home users at the time - complete with a cassette player for storage. The word processor would handle as much as 20 pages of text at a time. My buddy had a PET with 4 kb of memory, and with that much power [!] and a 4 pen plotter [leased] he started a business. BillR

It was $99, as I recall. Gobs of fun at the time. I still have it, it worked the last time I fired it up. Its special talent was its video output port. (Block graphics, not text.) I think I might have 4k of RAM in it now, I'm forgetting details. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
