97. It was truly miraculous when compared to the state of the art at that time.

It displayed 4096 colors when others did 2 or maybe 16. It sang when others just beeped. It even talked. With some add-ons it displayed and processed full motion video when others were just trying to keep a spreadsheet recalculation reasonably un-slow.
