Um, almost.  The IBM PC came out in early '81, I believe.  I was
at Apple back then, and I remember how interested we were in what
they'd done.  We were trying to straighten out the Apple/// mess
that marketing had left us in, and I remember someone in our 
group comparing its' color display (seen in a local dealer) 
compared to the PC's display.  (He rated ours as "home-cooked ..."
in comparison.)  There were some depressed people in the
neighborhood in those days.

The 128K Mac arrived in public in 1984.

Good article, otherwise.
