That is very interesting. I had intended to buy OS/2 rather than
MSDOS, but money and circumstances pointed me the Mac way ...
And if only someone would offer to let me learn to fly a Spitfire; I
should be such a happy, happy chap! :-)
A P-40 flew into Wyton (where I fly from) last week. It might have
been a heavyweight and a mud-mover in its time, but I should be just
as happy to fly one of those.
