I would still be upset about it too!

When I was a kid I had my CoCo2 at home, the TI-99/4A at my grandfather's, and
an IBM XT at my aunt & uncle's house.  Then one magical day in the late 1980s,
my uncle brought a Macintosh II home from his office, and my mind was BLOWN.  
That is what made me start my vintage collecting with Macs!
