Most influential

My thoughts were not directed at the writing, David. I broke my teeth on the Commodore computers, they were for the masses. Cheap, easy to use, expandable and left you wanting the next one in line. Yet, they were not mentioned. The Apple IIe was also left out. Plus Netscape was the most widely used browser before M$ started putting IE on all computers sold. The only thing IE did for me was to make me want something faster, more secure, and more stable. I was looking for things that were already in place before M$ was started, like the TRS-80, Commodore, Apple, CPM, IBM, etc.
