Another gold star for the Spectre:  I bought a Spectre 128 in August
(along with a [yech] Translator One that actually works sometimes),
back before the days of the GCR.  One of my usual IBM programming
contracts expanded into a Mac port, and rather than buy another
computer that I didn't really want in the first place, I got the
Spectre and Think C.  Three weeks later my first program (which,
incidentally is a commercial program) was in final form, and I hadn't
managed to crash the system even once.  I was afraid that trying to
develop software with a Spectre was going to be a fiasco, but I must
say now I am more than pleased with the outcome of this experiment.
