and if you search... AAAAAAAAHHH!!! What happened to
the TIL and
everything? Damn, I hate Steve Jobs. He's ruining Apple. I mean, I like the
G4 and B&W G3 and the iMac and iBook and all, but ruining the web site,
killing the Newton and turning Apple into Microsoft is too much for me. Be
glad that the old software is still available. If you have the
resources(big extra hard drives, tape drives, etc...), archive everything.
Because when you need it the most, it WILL be gone.
Damn, I'm getting depressed.
WHY!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RUIN APPLE!!
Anyways, I've never really seen the point of the
Apple IIe card. Maybe
that's because I have the real thing... I've played around with that card
before and it never really worked for me. Maybe because I didn't have the
drive that goes with it... Kinda useless without it.
Well, did you mention the Newton Killer guy - 'cause he was also
'somewhat' responsible for cutting of the A2 series - and the A2e
Card was just the last step into forcing schools to use Macs
instead of A2s - an LC with the card could still use the old A2
soft, but it's a Mac. And you don't need the drive for all
stations if you had one to copy the Disk onto a networkdrive.
Thats exactly the idea behind - the only problem was, if schools
where forced to switch (No new A2s), they eventualy did just drop
Apple at all and changed for PCs - in fact, the A2e card was already
a reaction to this to maybe keep some within the Apple family, since
originaly there was just the LC, and no A2e card ...
Anyway, I bought one via eBay, and it'S a nifty pice to play around.
Gruss
Hans
