It was in the 90s and they were a bunch of these things.
Just like I said.
And every time I tried to bring up particular websites, they all locked up.
The smart ass working there was first perplexed and then hyper-defensive and finally, just offensive.
I actually have one of these things, just for the quirky kick of it.
I also have an old Bronze G3 laying around.
OS X is on that one, Panther, if I recall rightly.
It's a royal PITA to use so I don't.
Years ago, I used it to "surf safely" [when it worked] and to receive attachments from a Mac-using friend.
Somewhere in between, I had a couple of the cute little fruit flavored clam shell notebooks that I played with.
I use PS heavily and they could not handle that.
I like my Alienwares.
2G video and 32G of ram works for me.
However, I don't totally freak out and denigrate people who don't like Windows or Alienware.
I'm not an emotional slave to my computers nor do I proselytize any machine, in particular.
People should be able to buy what pleases them without others treating them like subhumans.
It was in the 90s and they were a bunch of these things. Thank you, Salamander. As I thought, you were not talking about a modern Mac, you were talking about a Mac that was made in 1998. Sixteen years ago. You were not talking about the same hardware or even the same operating system as a modern Mac. Nor even in the same ball park. These machines we were discussing are completely divorced from each other. They literally are not even the same species of computer; different processor, different operating system. You might as well as been talking about an Atari or an Amaga machine as a Mac. They merely share a Manufacturer and a name.
