You said it!  We didn't know how good we had it back then.  We do now though.  
The 80's were a wonderful time in my life, and probably some of the best times. 
 I remember thinking how "office" and "accounting" the Tandy looked to me, but 
I started with a VIC-20, then C64, then C128.  I never did get an Amiga, and it 
seems I missed out on a lot of cool things.  I set up my old C128 on a desk 
last week with a monitor for 80 col mode and a 1702 for the 40 col modes.  I've 
been using a WiFi modem to get back into retrocomputing again.  There are so 
many fun things being made by the people who grew up with the retro computers 
that we are talking about.  Feels like fun times again.
