Wow guys, all this stuff brings back so many mid 90's Apple memories. I
really do miss those days when computing was simple and easy and fun!
Nowadays it is so hard to keep up with all the latest things, I am still
stuck back in OS 7 and 8 days myself, somewhat by choice, somewhat
financially lol! Steve has done a lot for Apple but he has also killed a
lotof good karma. And the sad thing is, outside of small user groups such
asthese, no one really cares about all this old, but excellent, Apple
technology, let alone if they have even heard of it! It kind of makes me
bitter from time to time, but what can you do? Oh well... some food for
thought!
