Also... faught? I laughed. Hard. So hard, I nearly faughted. Couldn't be a typo--If you meant 'fought', it's a long way from o to a. Sorry, sorry.. it's silly, but man that's a weirdo misspelling.

You are starting to be creepy, very creepy. So what you are saying is that my misspellings are wrong, they are not correct misspells. Well, I'd rather be the one with incorrect misspells than the one who points out the incorrectness of the misspells any day.

Forget about CP/M. Even though CP/M vs DOS is somewhat interesting stuff, it is irrelevant in the context of mid to late 80 - early 90 computer wars.

And yes, Atari must not be forgotten.
