Maybe BB could offer them through Internet the same way that RM Dunkle does.
They could have someone at BB just anonymously give copies to someone who
would give out copies (for the price of a tape and postage).
That would be neat. We only need ONE copy...then we could make lots of copies
of that one tape!

Those two quotes are so apropos together. Remember, kids, in Biblical
times the Apple was a symbol of sex, and today it *still* means someone's
getting screwed!
(sorry. . .couldn't resist that one)
In my experience, Macintosh is to computing what Zima is to beer. And
they both left a foul taste in *my* mouth.

OOOOOOO! Is the *GREAT* KMS going to lecture us on the evils of
Macintosh (without saying WHY of course)? OOO, Mr. Computer Store
Owner, may I trade in my copy of System 7.0 for some buggy Windows
piece of crap, just so I can enrich Billy Bob Gates a little more?
OOOO, may I?

Nope. The Great KMS's *husband* is going to lecture you on the evils of
Macintosh. You might be interested to know that you enrich Billy Bob
Gates every time you buy a copy of System 7 . . . guess who wrote *that*,
too!
You know, "We don't care; we don't have to care. We're MicroSoft."
Billy Bob's company did DOS, Windows *and* System 7 - why do you think he
doesn't care which machine wins? Me for Unix . . . as soon as I can
afford a system that can handle it . . . ;) I figure, if we're stuck
supporting Gates, we may as well do it on a machine worth using - the PC.
Give me a command line to resort to when the GUI fails, and the
capability to program without having to make truly obscure calls to the
.DLLs and other bizarre things. Me - "Give me Unix, or give me DOS!"
God knows . . . I won't spend a lot of time defending Windows. Or *any*
GUI, for that matter. That's the problem with Mac - no choices.

No, I was just MSTing someone's .sig file. (Sorry, Patrick, for thanking
you for giving me a nickname, appropriate though it was, I should have
credited Bruce instead. Thanx Bruce!) However, if you *WANT* a lecture
on the evils of Macintosh, I'll be happy to email you privately and
copiously. There's lots of stories I can tell you, and none of them are
pretty. They call it a GUI because things get *stuck* in it, you know?
However, I see no need to bore everyone else with our religious
differences. You wanna MST me, that's fine. That is what we're here
for, isn't it?
Again, thanx for acknowledging my greatness.
PS: I don't like Windows either, since you asked. Command prompts,
that's my thing.

Why does no one ever mention the Amiga? Lets you mess with

You think Gates wrote System 7? Ok...now we've established that you don't
have a clue...

Yeah...let's spend LOTS of money on an archaic old CLI. UNIX on Internet is
fine. UNIX anywhere else is insane.

Your statement is kinda like, "Well, if I'm going to lose a finger, you might

The Macintosh is one of the most customizable computers on this planet.
You have obviously never used one. Go and use one for a month without
touching an Intel machine. Come back then and tell us how much you were
wrong.

They're getting bought by Samsung. Maybe they'll spring for
some advertising this time. Maybe we'll see it during MST3K! [Class,
note the weak attempt to bring the thread back on topic.] Seems like
an awful lot of MSTies are Amiga users, and anything's better than
those Mentos spots and Zima spots and just about all the other ads
on CC...

platform wars are so senseless, mac and ibm are slowly mutating into
one another anyway, but I've got the price of admission ($0.02).
I work as a systems operator eight hours a day (night, really) on an
IBM mainframe. But, when it came time to buy a small computer for my home,
it was Mac all the way. (I do lots of graphics and DTP stuff). I'm moving
up to a power-mac, and my five year old daughter is inheiriting my SE-30
(It's pretty much her's already).
I never thought (ten years ago) that I would love a computer without a
command line (and the mac still needs one) but I'm never going back to a
PC.

We ordered it on floppies (since that's our only choice on this system) but
the !@#$%^&s shipped it on an 8mm tape and when we asked, they told us that
it isn't available on floppies.
Maybe I'll eventually be able to run AIX on my new PowerMac.

About the same as I would feel about simultaneously undergoing root

Our systems man at the office was all delighted to have gotten the
Windows NT beta test . . . *twenty* *three* disks, all packed to the
rafters with *compressed* install stuff; required 80Mb hard drive space
and 12Mb RAM . . . it took him longer to install the whole thing than it

"Make mine OS/2, GEM (Atari ST), Unix, or Mac if I have to. I'd sooner power
