Rumor has it that TeoZ may have mentioned these words:
>Well if there is a 10 year rule that would mean anything from mid 1993 and
>earlier, which catches alot of the commodity PC era almost up to windows
>95.... [snip]
And would have *excluded* discussions about the Tandy Color Computer 3 up
until last year; as they were listed in the Radio Shack Catalog up to 1992
(altho they were closeout that last year...) -- Now, if one wanted to split
hairs, one could have said "I bought mine in 1987, so *mine* is ontopic..."
but that gets just as tedious as all them thar Winders blatherings
IMNSHO... (BTW, I bought mine in '86... had the first one in probably a 150
mile radius of my house... ;-)
On that note, the *coolest* 8-bit CPU known to man or beast may yet be
off-topic... I don't know when Hitachi made their 63C09; have they been out
10 years??? Yes, I *still* want one of those... just don't have the time to
futz with it if I had one, that's why I don't order one. (Mark Malette (?)
of Cloud-9 still had some in stock, last I checked... they ain't cheap, but
hey... whaddya want for a cooler 6809 than the 6809... ;-)

That's my $0.0000000000000002, or what it's worth...
