[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1857597, member: 396914"] I think I would have bought an Apple way-back-when if it had actually done anything beside sit there and if anything I clicked on actually did anything. It looked slick and I was system-agnostic at the time, having just come off a TRSDOS to CP/M conversion of an old TRS-80 Model 1. I had also built a Heathkit H-100 system, so I was familiar with the S-100 bus at the time. I didn't particularly want an IBM clone because of the limitations of the bus the way IBM had designed it and the memory management of MSDOS was strange. But the Apple just sat there like a very expensive lump. [/QUOTE]
