| Pat's Soapbox: Just for the Fun of It | Why are you still wasting time with that toy? Why don’t you get a Mac, an IBM, or one of the clones? We have all heard these questions many times. Don’t you get tired of it? Of course you do, and so do I. Let me give you a few of the responses I give | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
