I really really wanted an IBM 5150 (a real peecee, not
that *Taiwanese junk*, which in reality was just as
good), with a Sigma 400 video card, and a Princeton
PG-12 (I may have screwed the model designation up).
~2500$ in 1986 dollars. A little too pricey for a 19
year old making 3.40$/hour. So I settled on a Tandy
1000. Kept it for about 2 weeks LOL.
The following year I bought a T2K when it went on
sale. The rest is history. In fact all of it is
history. And now so is this here message...

Being that *presumably* it has color graphics
capability, someone should grab it. They're not
that
easy to come by.
Yup. And they do 640x400, which was kinda
unusual at the time.
