No, I was never a "commie" by any stretch, but of all the people I knew who had computers at home in the 1980s when I was in high school, the breakdown went something like this: 90%: Commodore 64 or VIC-20 5%: Atari 400 or 800 1%: Apple (rich kids) 1%: COCO 1%: Non-COCO TRS-80 (kids with parents who ran their own businesses) 1%: CP/M 1%: RSTS/E =) (only 1...betcha can't guess who that was!) -Dave -- Dave McGuire New Kensington, PA
