You have Osbornes too?  Does your O-1 have the DD and screen-pac upgrades?  I 
saw a lot of those machines,  there being a local club and me having my shop 
in the building of the dealer who was selling them.  I liked the exec pretty 
much,  excepting the single-sided drives,  but never cared for the O-1 as 
much,  mostly because of that 52-column screen.

Remembering how after installing the screen-pac upgrade for folks I could 
actually read those characters when it was set to 104 columns...!  Not 
something I think I could do these days,  though they do have a pretty sharp 
screen,  there.
