Computers today have become boring.
PC have windows,
Macs have MacOS,
UNIX.....

Nothing changes, nothing new comes out.
(aaaarrrrgggghhhh....  depression)

The GOOD Ol' DAYS when new machines with new features came out every week!
HitBit, ZX80, TRS80, the Sorceror, the Spectravision, the Peach... it was
a great time.

Hell the games were simple but alot of fun.

Of course the best computer of the time was the TRS-80.  It had the
original 3D first person game...  ASYLUM!
