Ha! I used to have an IBM PC Jr. many moons ago. What a lemon that was! Still, I had some fun with it and sold it to the kid down the street for $50 at a garage sale.

I had a PC Jr. also, it was a choice between that or an Apple Macintosh, whatever that was. I figured IBM was a safer bet, they would always have software for their computers. Did I ever get screwed on that one! Not only did they quit making software for it but when I got it I got it with a word processing program on floppy disc. They said to make a back up copy of the program right away and when I did I accidentally copied the blank disc onto the program disc. IBM told me that was my problem and refused to send me another disc. You can guess how many IBM products I have bought since then. It’s been nothing but Apple ever since and I couldn’t be happier.
