extension, and the "PC Access" extension as well. The Mac can now read
and write both ProDOS and IBM disks. Copy everything from an Apple ][
disk to a folder, then onto an IBM disk.
Or-- less expensive but more time-consuming-- upload everything from
your Apple ][ to your CompuServe account, then download it all from there
to your IBM.

It is possible to run a certain number of Mac applications on a PC.
provides details. The emulator is called "Executor".

Apple II is a decent machine and Mac is ... well, Mac.
A history lesson for you newbies:
Wozniack created Apple I as a kit
Apple created Apple II and produced it
Apple updated and improved Apple II's for years
Jobs created the Mac idea
Apple used Apple II user's money to develop Macs
Apple produced Macs
Apple said Apple II forever
Apple produced more Macs
Apple quit advertizing Apple IIs, and increased Mac advertizing
Apple said, look, Apple II sales are down, Mac sales are up
Apple never asked why
Apple quit making Apple IIs
Apple is now in major financial trouble, which never occurred when
when Apple II users were being supported
Yes, Apple has created their own problems when they could have done
vastly better.

yup. I think the reason Apple]['s are better than mac's is because
apple][s are programming based... basic and assembly are the only things
you have access to when you boot... That's the part I loved, being able
to mess around with the computer itself, instead of clicking with a lame
little mouse... being 5 levels above the computer itself.

world is a programmer. I'm sorry to see the apple ][ go away, it STILL
has the best games that ever were. (still works too!)
Quote from Wired: "Super Mario Brothers didn't sell 20 million copies
because it had 3d texture mapped graphics." (it didn't)
The Mac however, was, is and will continue to be the future of computing
for those without any programming knowledge or MIS department. Apple's
current problems are because they stopped innovating, and languished in
what they already had. I hope this error has been realized and
corrected.
Also if msDOS and Win.ini files are what that programming has become,
then I don't really want to mess with it anymore. My Mac works, day-in
and day-out (and days on end). I dont know too many PCs like that.
It would be nice if there was a tiny little door to squeeze through and
watch the Mac work though.
AppleScript is sort of cool too, but it drives me nuts when something I
did in 20 lines of code on a Apple ][e in 1982 can't be done on a
computer 1000 times more powerful.

Gotta agree. Though QBASIC in MS-DOS does a nice at surpassing Applesoft
BASIC in the "quick-and-dirty-hack" department.

Then again, at the time I don't think anything had 3D texture mapped
graphics. Compared to the stuff available at the time, it was cutting
edge. Of course it still had decent playability, but I wouldn't
discount the novelty factor so easily.

Actually, Win95 seems to be capturing the non-programmer market as well.

My Linux box works, day-in and day-out (and days on end), too.
I eve leave it on during vacations and use it remotely from home.

Is it practical to pop the cover off a Mac and leave the innards exposed?
I know it was easy enough on the old Apple II's and it isn't too bad
with a PC if you leave the cover unscrewed...

That's why I avoid macs. Even DOS is starting to look crippled now
that I've become addicted to using find and all the fun things
built into bash for file manipulation.
