So - I throw it to the list - As a background statement showing that
Apple existed and sold a predecessor in small volumes for a time
before the Apple-II ... Is my posting above non-factual? If so, in
what way, and can you provide supporting documentation?
No, as far as I can see, what you said on your site is perfectly accurate.
You're not comparing the Apple I to the II, so why he's bitching (and it
really seems to just be bitching) about the KIM-1 being 'better', I have no
idea. I'd just put it down to him being a rambling fool.
I've had *much* worse... Most memorable was someone who wanted me to design
him a load of what I'd describe as 'borderline illegal electronic devices'
(GPS jammers, airband transceivers, crap like that). I politely declined, then
got a wonderful email back to the effect of 'I pay my internet subscription,
I'm ENTITLED to this'. Yeah right, pull the other one jackass.
Then I got a guy who took a look at my battery-tab welder and demanded that I
"upload a better f*cking schematic"...
I'm beginning to wonder if there's something in the water or food supply
that's impairing the mental functioning of a good chunk of the population of
the planet. Or maybe it's global warming - that seems to be the in-vogue
'problem' at the moment.
