That's right, and I didn't mean that you are stupid. But on our school,
99.9% have a 83 Plus, since school sold them for a reduced price. And then
it actually IS stupid (IMHO) to buy a 83, since you have almost no chance to
get games and even lowercase basic programs, but the other 99.9% can have
them. However, on a 83-only-school, you don't have this problem.
