Robin,
I appreciated the mention of the 60's history -- Apple and Commodore -- not
IBM. I started with a Commodore 64 (very impressive during its time) and I
only switched from Amiga in 1997. Anyone remember who was the first with
color and true multi-tasking? One great machine (too bad about the
miserable company management). I grew to hate being out of the mainstream
and gave it up for a PC and never looked back.
I haven't minded your discussion at all. :)

Richard, get your history straight -- sixties was Apple and Commodore
fighting it out for The Personal Computer Market. Apple (and Steve Jobs)
won (before IBM joined the fight) -- but that was +well+ before Windows.
