'87 is the year my dad brought home a Mac SE. I wish I still had it. Great little system. We had a dot matrix printer with the paper with the perforated side feed parts. Fun times.

In 1987, you needed an Adlib sound card for Christmas. If only they knew about the sound capabilities that Japanese computers had at the time. Sound was a quantum leap for dos gaming back the way then.
@McVaio Жыл бұрын
Advanced sound capabilities of Japanese computers like the IBM PCjr, Tandy 1000, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, and... wait, what?
@AshtonCoolman Жыл бұрын
@@McVaio Now compare those to the Sharp X68000 that came out in 1987. Also compare them to the NEC PC-9801's Yamaha YM2203(OPN) from 1985 and YM2608B(OPNA) from 1987. No Commodore, Atari, or MS-DOS PC had anything close to it until the 1990s outside of using a Roland MT-32 or other professional-grade MIDI synth.

OS/2 dominant in 5 years, oh?
@DataWaveTaGo6 жыл бұрын
OS/2 was significantly better that Win 3.1 & it looked & "felt" better (the window borders & screen fonts were awesome). The drawback? Win 3.1 could work well with 2 megabytes of ram and fly on 4 megabytes. OS/2 needed 10 mega bytes just to stop continual swap-file access with every mouse click, and even more ram to run an application with comfort, and in 1987 10 megabytes of ram could cost $1,000.00.

1987 was well before Windows 3.1 but yeah OS/2 hardware requirements were too high. Also, Microsoft didn't steal the GUI from Apple but also got the idea from Xerox. That's also why Apple lost their lawsuit against Microsoft. They didn't invent most of what they claimed ownership of.
