My point was that people are not around to work at computers, which
is a pretty useless activity in the scheme of things. What is really
disturbing to me is that there are people, some my age, who would turn
down a chance to interact with a person, versus a computer. AND they
use Windows 95 or MacOS! The internet may become a problem
psychologically
soon. But this is all way off subject, so I have two questions:
a)What is a DECstation 312? Is it just a clone?
b)I heard that there was an 8088-based machine called an apricot, that
had a GUI, voice recognition,etc.(according to the Machine Room). Is
it what I think it is, or was it a piece of junk? Either way, how much
would the portable go for?
