 GH>  wow, that was a bargain back in those days. :)

 DD> Actually it was about standard (in my area). For $100 more you could

 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

 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. :)
