@darkage
I remember back in junior high I was probably the only poor sod that didn't have an 'ass-kicking' commodore (or apple) system and was constantly reminded so! Had an 8088-10MHz w/EGA around that time - of course, nobody else at that time understood what it meant to have an EGA-capable display. At that time, everyone was making the comparison to 4-color CGA.

Anyway, after playing F-18 interceptor on a mate's A500, I admit that I didn't quite look at my PC the same way again..

@persia
Intresting thing about that 'suggested retail price': I seem to recall Woz saying something about how he liked the idea of repeating digits, nothing satanical at all about it really ;) Cool ads BTW!
