   Apple didn't used to be that way but the bigger the company got, the worse   
   it became.  Once they quit using the Motorola 68000 CPU, I lost interest.

   My first computer with color was, interestingly enough, a TRS-80 Color   
   Computer 2.  That was the computer I taught myself BASIC on.  I rarely use   
   BASIC now, instead preferring Pascal, BASH scripting, or REXX scripts, but I   
   can still whip out a program if needed.   
      
   I have Microsoft BASIC PDS around here somewhere.
