@fluidlogic I can't say I thought about them much, other than the idea of taking a machine home rather than using it at the office. I got a PC and I mainly used it to dial into the VAX machines at work. I never gave the others (ie 8 bits) a thought. Then I had to do some programming on, by then, Windows 3. Had to jump through lots of hoops to do what I wanted in 16 bits.
