Anyone that was there when the first Windows was released knows that, compared to DOS, it dragged that same fast DOS computer down horribly, and forced the endless hardware upgrading. I could, and should, write a book.

It wasn't the marketing that cost Apple, Jobs and Woz were heros everywhere, especially in schools. It was the open architechure of the PC. I also sold the first brand of PC clone, the Columbia.

Anyone remember that one?

Well I was just bringing that up to say that people need to stop bashing Apple and its product and be thankful for its contributions to the world. But thanks for that knowledge I thanks your post just cause you dropped some good information and brought up some old memories (though its alittle off topic (as well as I was)).
