Man ... what a trip down memory lane ... I was poking around the new DAK site and found a copy of the ad for the Visual Commuter system they were selling back in 1986 ... this was the system I talked my boss into ordering for the whole office to get us off the Selectrics! I still have one of these puppies sitting around here somewhere ... it's amazing that for the same price that you could get a 2-LD-Floppy drive 8088 system with a monochrome monitor and daisy-wheel printer back then, you can now get a Pentium4 system with an 80gig HD, a big monitor and a color printer! Ain't technology grand?
Wow ... more on DAK ... my first PC!
