Whoa - someones memory is screwed - IBM (and their loyal fans) were quick to
celebrate it's fifth anniversery earier this year or in late 86 - making the
release in late 81 or early 82 ( I want to say 81 but something is bothering
me on that). I of course alway boasted back that the Apple II was celebrating
its TENTH anniversary in the same year and that usually quieted down the IBM
fans =->
