    GH>  wow, that was a bargain back in those days. :)   
      
    DD> Actually it was about standard (in my area). For $100 more you could   
    DD> get a dual floppy drive and have both a:/ and b:/ drives. And you had a   
    DD> choice of 8" or 5.25" drives. Thannk providence I didn't go with the 8"   
    DD> guys. They were fading fast, even thsn.   
      
    hehehehe, yep... my color computer took the 5 1/5 inch floppies    
   though single sided double density. Added the os/9 operating system, compiled    
   device   
   drivers for the 3 1/2 floppies and I was in hog heaven.   
      
    GH> ah come on now, just think how much fun you had learning all this   
    GH> stuff and it carries on to today.  Imagine growing up and getting   
    GH> into computing with only the point and click interface. :)   
      
    DD> Or thinking you *HAVE* tobe tethered to your $mart-a$$ phone.  Bv(=   
      
    bwahahahahah  yeah... that too. :)   
      
    DD> Helping my brother clean out a basement storage space the other day I   
    DD> came across a Coleco Adam I had bought his daughters in an attempt to   
    DD> wean them away from Q*Bert and Donkey Kong to more productive pursuits.   
      
    hehehehe, with the Ziglog Z80 chip?  Initial price back in 1983 at $600 was   
   quite an investment wasn't it. :)
