use 'em myself back then, and I don't want to do so now. Once that
FOCAL manual is transcribed to a useful format, these Apple machines I
have are parts and scrap.
No, we aren't going to "agree to disagree" because you're basically
claiming as fact something that is completely false. You are trying to
make your factually incorrect opinion a part of historical record. You
refuse to admit that your knowledge of the hardware in question is based
on secondhand information from your admittedly poor recollection, and just
above you state, "I didn't use 'em myself back then".
So the question is, what the hell do you really know about them anyway?
And the answer is, absolutely f-ing nothing.
