My first computer was a Coco II from Radio Shack. It didn't take long to
realize how useless Radio Shack is. I ended up getting an XT. I can't
believe the prices I paid for that machine and accessories, but I sure
am glad that prices have plummeted. I paid less for this laptop than I
did for a 20 meg hard drive for that computer.
