Please notice that I said: "Historically"

When I bought my 1000A Lotus 2.01 was already available but the only version
most Tandy salemen had ever heard of the the 1000 specific 1A version carried in
their stores... on a whim once I went to several of the computer centers and
asked "Isn't their a later version of Lotus than this?"  Everyone said this was
not only the latest version but a few of their mis-information clerks told me
it was better than the stock version cause Tandy had redesigned it ????

So according to the shoe salesmen that Tandy hires maybe they do "write all
that stuff"...

BTW, I have yet to see Excel or Wordperfect in any Tandy store... and I was in
one yesterday looking to see what they were carrying now days...

And I'm not sure about seeing Lotus 2.01???

But they sure do have lots a games for them there computers... why ya might
think you was buyin' a Nitendo or somethin'
