Re: Apple II vs Atari 800

While I went to a few different High Schools, the district I was in
for elementary, middle school, and 2 years of high school had all
jumped on the TRS-80 bandwagon, I don't think we had an Apple computer
in our school.  Had an IBM, TRS-80 Mod 2, a bunch of Mod 3's, then Mod
4's.

But we did get to try out Acorn computers for a small bit, and at the
time, 83ish, they seemed pretty cool.  Built in speach, graphics.
While the person was trying to show us how to use them, I was
programming it to say swear words, and other fun things (hey, i was
like 15, give me a break!).

Of course, we didn't keep them.  =)

It wasn't tillI hit my last high school, that i got exposed to apples,
but buy that time, IBM PC had started to make it's stranglehold...
