I'm pretty sure this is the computer that my mom had hooked up to an old TV set back in the early 90s. She used it all the time to communicate with me by e-mail, printing out each message she received. I always knew a message was from her because the text was wrapped at something like 25 columns in width. It worked great! It was like a fancy typewriter. Then I upgraded her to an IBM PC with Windows, and she stopped using the computer altogether! She just never made the jump to a windowed system with a mouse. |

That's funny, my parents were the same. They started using computers with punch cards, then moved to teletypes, terminals and finally DOS-based PCs. Never made the jump to Windows, which they thought was "too complicated."
