      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!!!)

        CGA? EGA? Well look at you, Mr. Fancy Rich Guy Computer user.

        I lived the MDA life until waaaaaaaaaaaaay into the SVGA era lol.

            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.
