Yes... but they were more expensive, and they convinced me at college to
buy a PC for "compatibility". Every one was using them and I could "share"

It was a deciding factor. I needed a computer because with only three
hours per week at the university only Vax I'd never learned a thing, so
using one compatible with my fellow students was a necessity.
