Well, Gee, Terry. Those were nice little consumer entry Macintosh which shipped with Mac OS 7.1. . . and discontinued 21 years ago. . . before Microsoft even thought of Windows 95 and was shipping crappy MS-DOS. Amazing you hold grudges from memories of a very nice Mac.
I was looking at a Windows thread earlier, and anti-Apple crazies were trying to bait responses from Apple fans. On a Windows 10 thread! Weird. There were no remarks that I could see from Apple or Linux people. It’s just crazy how these loons flock to an Apple thread to knock Apple. And even do it on a Windows thread. Weird and crazy. If they don’t want to buy Apple, you’d think they’d ignore the Apple threads and focus on Windoze.
Dear Swordmaker,
The machine itself was the reason I purchased it. I had been married to a non-technically minded wife, whereas I had been involved with computers from the days of the Univac 1050-II data processing equipment.
The ‘rub’ was that, I was a subscriber to AOL, and AOL kept increasing it’s version numbers, and ‘size needed’ requirements, exponentially to where I had to keep taking the processor to the get-on-the rug-and-face-North Apple techni-priests for greater RAM installations. No matter how much electronic catechism I evoked, I was just another schlump to a 20-ish fuzz-moustached Apple employee, beholden to them for the survival of the machine, while under purchased extended warranty.
I have worked with Fortran77, hexidecimal machine code, assembly language, built my own computer, HP-1B Basic, Dos 5, Dos 6, Windows 3.1, before I moved and purchased the brand new LC475 from an office store, in 1994. I don’t recall the ‘OS’ number. I have since owned a Win98Se laptop, (which with me survived Hurricane Katrina), a WinXP laptop, and now a Win7 machine.
