Could someone tell me what's up with these shirts ?

Well, I'd rather suggest t's like 'Amiga is lame' or
'Fogett Atari' ... You know, stuff wich may have been
offensive to geeks 10 years ago ... Either we sell them
for their nostalgic value or to fuel ne home comuter wars :)

Both off us would own an Apple 1 at a reasonable price ?
