rather then respond item by item to that barrage of
gibberish, moron, remember what prompted your original
response - I had said it was unfortunate that Apple
didn't build the MACINTOSH with a crt controller. Then
you went on to eat up unnecessary bandwidth with a
reply that meant next to nothing.

True, but for $2500, the price of the original 128k
Mac IIRC, you could get a PC or compatible with double
the resolution, with 8 or 16 colors.

let's see if I'm allowed to post to Lisa list today. I
don't know about all that. Could an early Mac do this:

I think the main thing was the price. IBM had a
couple of debacles in it's time too. I picked up,
which required considerable effort, a System
23/Datamaster recently. Released almost simultaneously
with the PC. Cost about 10 grand. Then there was the
68000 based lab computer (O so you didn't know
o wow what a challenge! He tries to give away the
stuff on Lisa list. Post that on a local freecycle
board and see how long it lasts. Someone is bound to
snatch it up regardless. Or try the classiccmp.org
mailing lists. Me, I dont own any early IBM PCs, an AT
though. My collection consists mainly o
right. And where do you get all those PCs and ATs.
You're really very ignorant of the value of those
things. And from the sound of it, ignorant in general.

my apologies. I thought this was a classiccmp.org mail

yeah, especially if you had bough either new. The Lisa
was a flop, cost twice as much as an AT (at least),
and the AT was a huge success (not knocking Lisa's
though - I own one of each :).
