    Paulie420 (YT: TechHeart), IIRC has a video out there reviewing PiMiga or
    one of the other amiga emulators. He shows a lot of, but not all of, what
    it comes with. Watching that would at least help you see some of what it
    does have.

    That is what I was also thinking about -- blending in better with the decor. Seems like about the same time, or maybe slightly earlier, they started
    making more black appliances -- like refridgerators, dish washers, and
    ovens.

    I think beige and silver computer/electronic equipment just about left the building hand in hand. We got some interesting kitchen appliances.. my
    Mother has a bright red fridge for arguments sake. But most stayed white or went to stainless. But audio visual equipment pretty much went all black
    along with PCs.

    I got confused and thought they meant the spreadsheet program, too. ;)

    ³ I am still suspicious about some of those programs I typed in in the 80's and ³ maybe it wasn't my fault after all! (OK, I definitely made mistakes typing

    ÀÄ[A=>BW]

    I remember typing in some of the programs I found in 99er magazine and then scouring the code after not being able to get them to work. In a few
    cases, I was able to fix the error on my own. In others I would scrap the program (it often would not properly save code to tape if there was an
    error) only to find a correction in the next edition. ;)
