RN> Eons ago, when I was president of our local computer club, which
RN> consisted of just anout every available computer at the time (late 80s,
RN> early 90s), it was ALWAYS the Apple users who thought theirs were the
RN> best. I had, and was laughed at, an IBM PC jr, with two floppy drives and

I remember those times pretty well.  There were far more hardware options
for personal computers along with operating systems to go along with them.

The computer crowd that I was around back in that era didn't care as much
what type of system being used.  Very diverse systems at the time - you
name it - I knew someone with it.

I started with a Commodore Vic-20 (which I won in a Mother's Day essay
contest when I was 11 years old).  It sat in my closet for months before I
even decided to check it out.  I had no interest in computers before
winning it.  One rainy day I broke it out of the box and toyed around with
it.  The rest was history.

About a year or two later, I bought an Apple //c brand new for $1000.  I
had several Apple systems until I was around 17 years old and sold all of
the Apples and purchased a monster tower 286-12 system for $2000.  I sold
(2) Apple //c systems and a //gs.  I never forgave Apple for dumping the //
line.

Went from 286 to 386, 486, Pentium, etc..etc..  Bottom line is they are all
technology and do cool things.  That is what I enjoy..
