It's good.
When that episode was first broadcast by KCSM, it had good closed
captions.
My VHS copy is long lost.
The Youtube auto-generated captions are much better than they once were,
but still not quite there. Nevertheless, now good enough to follow along.

The price differential was NOT that much of a surprise, andwas not

AND, not mentioned, MS-DOS was out for 6 months before CP/M-86 finally
became available!
