   Thank you fpr taking my comment in the spirit in thich it was intended,  I   
   was, of course, referring to the egos of those particular Apple owners.  Who   
   could blame them?  I mean they shelled out a good bit of coin for a machine   
   that would run circles around what I owned.  And yet, they wanted me as   
   presidemt.  Must have been the free spaghetti dinners I hosted at our monthly   
   meetings.  (-:

   I forgot to mention the Heath-Zenith crowd that didn't attend our meetings, so   
   I went to one of theirs.

   I skipped past the 386 and went from 286 to 486.  Fond memories from that time   
   because I was running first OS/2 2.1, then 2.11 and finally Warp 3.  I have   
   Warp 4, but it won't install on this machine.
