CGA system. That was my first experience with x-86       architecture. I personally consider those models too - "un-uniform" to       be fun to use. I know I may be in the minority, but you had to fight to       get them to do what you wanted. So for me the 386 is a perfect       conformist(?) system...               GW> It will be neat to see what the retro/classic computer scene thinks is        GW> platform to bring into the light.              Agreed!
