The IBM PC came out in early '81, I believe. I was at Apple back then, and I remember how interested we were in what they'd done. We were trying to straighten out the Apple/// mess that marketing had left us in, and I remember someone in our group comparing its' color display (seen in a local dealer) compared to the PC's display. (He rated ours as "home-cooked ..." in comparison.) There were some depressed people in the neighborhood in those days. The 128K Mac arrived in public in 1984. Good article, otherwise. seh
