Hi M - My name is Don, but you can call me Joe (Public that is). And you
are correct, I sold my CBM stuff for about 900 bucks and bought that PB
for about 1200. I'll admit, I only had a minimum wage job and needed to
support a wife and child as well at that time.

I assume that is why I don't really have fond memories of that system.
It did get me started in the IBM clone world though. After using an
Amiga 1200, the CGA graphics were pretty bad.

Don (but you can call me Don-Joe)




.... Pardon me, but would you have any Blue Poupon?
