    I've always wanted to ask a Mac oldtimer. What make you stick with them through OS 7 and 8? I worked for two separate companies that made the "real switch" from Mac to Windows because the unreliability of OS 7. I was actually a subscriber to Mac Addict up until 7.6. I just couldn't stand it anymore and switch to NT 4 which was just infinitely faster and more stable. Now I split my time between XP and Slackware and OS X isn't even on my radar screen. How did you last all those years?
