A classic TV show. A shame it finally went off the air.

Amazing that we used to think these demos were "unbelieveably cool!"

"The base configuration has a monochrome monitor which has a resolution of 640x400, which is a little higher than what people are typically used to seeing; very crisp and solid." ~$799-$2,000.

"There is today 3 operating environments: 2 from Apple and 1 from IBM; it seems unlikely the available pool of software developers is expanding rapidly enough to support even one more operating system."

Ah the mid-80s, when computers were still the domain of doughy old white guys with beards wearing cheap suits.
