My Uncle used to say this about Woodstock - "If you can remember it, you wern't
there!".

I was "there" when the first Apple's came onto the market; although I was only
about 10. I went to school nearby and they donated some computers to our school
- I used to play Oregon trail and a few other games on them. I wanted an Apple
but they were too expensive so I ended up with a Commodore Vic-20 a few years
later. Were no mentions made of Commodore in the movie? At their peak they were
selling 10 times more computers than Apple was.
