WRONGO! How about the USAF Air Logistics Command? OO-ALC/MASMC has
~20 1040STs, varied color and mono systems. Or how about GTE? We
have 6 Mega-2 STs here, all monochrome. Oh, and yes, we are a rather
"technical" market - testing and upgrading ICBM command and control
systems!

Nope, sure don't. Given the choice of my Mega, any PC-Clone, or any
Mac, for day-to-day work, I'd take the Mega. Nice system, reasonable
speed, and the *BEST KEYBOARD I'VE EVER LAID FINGERS ON.* Bar none.
