From the Archives: George + 10,000 Yen

Way back in 1992 or so I convinced my boss to buy the office a 486 PC. I was working in Japan at the time and the few PC's that were there were all NEC PC98's *. Once we got it into the office, I immediately put it to productive use by installing Adobe Photoshop and putting George on the 10,000 yen bill.

Don't worry, that PC was heavily used and loved for years, it was even there when I went back to visit the office in 1998 !

In case you never used a PC98, consider yourself lucky, they were a NEC proprietary architecture, only sold on the Japanese market, and were complete crap.
