      If you could afford one! CGA/EGA were the best we had for a while. VGA/256 color was the stuff dreams were made of (and boy were we excited to finally get a computer that had it!!!)

            Hercules was MDA if MDA wasn’t garbage (thanks IBM!).

            But yeah went from a XT with MDA to a Pentium system.

            Real caveman-discovers-fire moment.
