The only real option then would have been a Tandy TS-80 I believe, and they were not cheap..

I had a Commodore Vic-20, I bought a 4k RAM chip for $317 in 1984 so I could write a chess program. Taught myself BASIC programming.

LOL, we weren't rich, but we were pretty well off. My father owns a Oil Consulting company and a drill stem tool company. the Higher the Oil prices the more he makes. I think he said he contracts for $1200 a day right now. He was making 6 figures back in the late 70's.

What does the nuclear crisis have to do with the character of the Japanese? The reactors are GE reactors. The same ones we have here AND have less safety measures than Japan. You seem to forget that this was one of the strongest earthquakes in history and THE strongest in Japan. Considering Japan's history of earthquakes, that's saying something. The Tsunami was one of the worst in history and yet out of the 11 reactors at that plant only 4 are critical. I say only four but if this had happened in the U.S.? We would be facing nuclear fallout and the evacuation of entire regions of the U.S.

Considering what the Japanese are up against, they have done an amazing job with a situation that has no precedence in history.

One thing I do know Spleenfarter is that you're a complete (_!_) hole.
