Now this is the kind of shit that really pisses me off. Linear minded dolts pure and simple. No TI-99's either. Atari ST should have even made an appearance as well as one of those British offerings like the Sinclair/Spectrum.

And "important" my ass. That Exidy machine was important? They've got to be kidding. The baby steps the IBM PC took every few years were hardly significant either. Yay, so here's the first PC to come pre-built with a hard drive. Yay.

Apple III  :laughing:

I do not recognize the importance or accuracy of that article at all, but it was nice to see an Altair and PET make an appearance.

Microsoft office would like to talk to you about that, but it can't because you're not running the same version.
Or most of Adobe's products. Or MS-DOS programs/games. Or Win95 apps and games. Or Mac OS9 apps and games. OR...

@Commodorejohn: good one, but if you're "lucky", there *may* be a patch available for your particular hardware and OS. *IF* you're lucky. And hopefully it doesn't mess with Windows so much that it causes your other programs to NOT work afterwards.
