Subj : Re: Forced registration i To : Alan Cairns From : Geo. Date : Fri Mar 30 2001 02:51 pm From: "Geo." That's what I remember too. In 1979 I had a ][ which had basic and a tape drive, soon after they came out with disk drives but they were real expensive. In about 81 I bought a setup for home which consisted of an Apple ][ plus, a single disk drive, and a greenscreen (about 10" diag). It set me back about $1600 if I remember right. Geo.
