The biggest problem these older machines had was
microsoft operating
systems.
(okay, I'm a Unix/VMS bigot at heart, but DOS and
win3.0/3.1 really WERE
that
bad.)
I guess that before telling you how full of shit ( in a friendly way, of
course ) you are I should ask what your refering to here...
>...but I've never met anyone who really LIKED
these operating systems the
way the apple-heads liked prodos and gsos.
*statement now invalid*
Alas, (new) Apple-heads are turned-on by marketing ala translucent/green
repackaging. Dont get me wrong. the Woz is a god and Newton OS rocks, IIx
was cool...
The only thing that makes me seek non-ms oses is the programming ease
facilitated by microsoft in app development. Need some challenges
somewhere.... but I guess this is true for any programmer and their
preferred platform...
