You had VGA in 1987?! That was very rare. You must have been an early adopter. Amiga users in '92 and '93 had great color and many PC users were still on EGA.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that. It was introduced in 1987.

I got my first VGA card in 1994. You're right, VGA wasn't common in 1987.

And based on the parent's comment history, he wasn't even alive in 1987; which is why he presents himself as an expert.
