If you could afford one! CGA/EGA were the best we had for a while. VGA/256 color was the stuff dreams were made of (and boy were we excited to finally get a computer that had it!!!)
CGA? EGA? Well look at you, Mr. Fancy Rich Guy Computer user.
I lived the MDA life until waaaaaaaaaaaaay into the SVGA era lol.
Damn, lol! We always laughed about "Hercules", i now see even that was superior to MDA! TIL we had it "good" with CGA as kids 😅
Hercules was MDA if MDA wasn't garbage (thanks IBM!).
But yeah went from a XT with MDA to a Pentium system.
Real caveman-discovers-fire moment.
