Well all I know it was a painful operation to upgrade the old Mac's
to a FAT Mac, from Dr Dobb's Journal. Funny thing I liked the compared
to the PC, but they were too much $$$. They still are.
Funny how "open hardware/Software" is what makes the better product.
First apple, then the IBM pc, then Microsoft and DOS, now linux
is the trend for the best if not user friendly software.
BTW I was never a fan of 'cool fad's' on computers ( The blinking
lights are a feature needed for umm debuging ) so I am painting
all the glowing parts of my new laser mouse, black so the glow is gone.
