Thank you fpr taking my comment in the spirit in thich it was intended,  I was,
 of course, referring to the egos of those particular Apple owners.  Who could
blame them?  I mean they shelled out a good bit of coin for a machine that
would run circles around what I owned.  And yet, they wanted me as presidemt. 
Must have been the free spaghetti dinners I hosted at our monthly meetings.

I forgot to mention the Heath-Zenith crowd that didn't attend our meetings, so
I went to one of theirs.

I skipped past the 386 and went from 286 to 486.  Fond memories from that time
because I was running first OS/2 2.1, then 2.11 and finally Warp 3.  I have
Warp 4, but it won't install on this machine.
