Speaking of Win 7 and Win 10, when is Microsoft going to bring out a good desktop OS?
In related news, I see that the forecast for tomorrow night is for Hell freezing over (actual temperature -35f locally and the high for Wednesday -21f )
was buying a Mac in '85 I bought a 'Fat Mac'' I spent about NZ$10,000 (a rich uncle had left me some money) in '88 I sold it to pay for a down payment on a laser printer
What was wrong with the Mac?
Not enough buttons on the mouse Not enough keys on the keyboard Not enough colors on the screen (screen too small) zero expandablity
and the local apple dealer wouldn't sell games
From '86 until I left NZ in 2002 I owned Amiga computer(s)
although there aren't as many pedestrians around at the moment - some of the sidewalks are very slippery. Thats the problem when it gets just above freezing guring the warmest part of the day, and cools down to single digits at night.
I posted that because I used to live in New Zealand, so I have seen them myself. And NZ is fairly isolated, There were no mammals there before humans migrated there,
NZ is 1200 miles from Australia, 6000 miles from California and as far as you can get from Spain.
