And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Leased a huge Burroughs with twin 6" floppies for the biz I was GM of. 1981, I think. It broke down weekly. It was so bad that Burroughs ended the lease 2 years in and leased us a B25 that used the 3" hard discs. It worked great. Free lease for the first six months.
IBM worked well, wanted to buy it, but there were zero programs for oil jobbers. Burroughs did.

ReplyDeleteForget the CBM.
ReplyDeleteThe C-64 used your TV for the monitor.
I had a 25" color computer monitor when the Apple-o-philes were still staring at a 12" monochrome.
