   Mike, That is what Iremember too    
   My wife would go to another section of a store while I played with Commodore   
   Vic 20 and C=64, the TI  and Atari 400 and 800 pcs.   
   I even went to the Apple Store on Bardstown Road to look at Apple II and   
   MacIntosh pcs    
   I learned that the Macs did not have BASIC on tham.   
   BASIC costs over $200.00 USD to put on the Macs, so I wasn't interested in it   
   The Apple II cost $800.00+++ with 80 Column Card.   
   The Atari's I played with acted like a dumb terminal (I didn't know then that a   
   BASIC Cartridge needed to be plugged inthe slot to use BASIC.   
      
   So I decided on the C64.   
   Learning how to use it caused me to make up the saying:   
   Here On Earth Computers Alway Win Because They Have Inside Information.
