WARNING: RANTING COMPUTER NUT...

to all the ranters (no matter what the subject), apply Thumper's Rule to what you say - in the movie Bambi - Thumper the rabbit was told by his mother - "if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all." This list is for classic computers. Any chance you all can keep your personal feelings from wasting email bandwidth.

best regards, Steve Thatcher

Learn to deal with it, yes.

But I don't see that as a reason to stop the bashing. If the
criticisms were unfair, perhaps. But even you, in your rant, admit
they're broken on many levels (as compared to most other machines); I
see no particular reason to stop pointing out something that's broken
just because we're stuck with its presence.
