I am a Computer Information Systems Major and a small local University in the Midwest. In my "Advanced UNIX Administration" class I have been asked how to change Dir, startx, and other assorted hilarity. At first it pissed me off that I had to stop playing Maelstrom and reading slashdot to help these people do simple things. They dont even try. All they wanted was someone to do the work for them. But what the hay, I have been using UNIX, *BSD, and linux for years. I don't want to be another computer guy with a stick up my ass. So I help them with thier problems, go back to my workstation, and kill -9 a few of their pros/reboot their computers/echo "hello human" to their console/and so on. Life is good when sshd in turned on by default and everyone but me uses password as their root password.

The closest thing would be the Apple Color Classic II. http://www.lowendmac.com/compact/color.shtml. It was an all-in-one small footprinted computer with a 68030 at 25mhz and an lc slot for an eithernet card and a 10 inch color screen capible of displaying thousands of colors. Ive got the original color classic. It had a 15mhz 030 with a 10mb ram limit, but I swaped its motherboard(the great thing about this line is the motherboards were easily accessed and switchable with a couple of other macs) giving it a 25mhz 030 with 20mb of RAM and a Math co-prossesor along with an ethernet card. I dropped an 800 mb scsi with a mac partition and a NetBSD partition. Its really a cool computer with a cult fallowing.
As for the SE/30, you could put a video card in its slot for an external color screen. Or, beleive it or not, some company made an internal adapted for its internal screen alowing it to display 256 gray on its 9inch monitor instead of black and white! Good luck getting one though, ive seen those rabid se30 fanatics drive the prices of those adapters into the $100s range.
How can it be old news...when its from the future? Anyways, I seem to remember an episode of the classic Outer Limits when a robot was on trial for killing his creator(he didnt really, it was an accident). Anyways, they go threw the whole robots alive spiel, and the robot loses. On the way to get disasembled, the robot pushes a little girl out of they way of a speeding truck showing the world that they are the real monsters and robots.
pft. Modern Star Trek. You modern "scifi fans" dont got anything on the classics.
I remember playing with hypercard in Grade school, making flip-book like movies. Anyways....
HyperCard is a wierd animal. I heard you could actually boot into hypercard with a Mac Plus with no MacOS. People who are interested should look into Hacintosh. Its little known atl UI(or OS, I cant tell) for that mac made in hypercard. It looks damn cool. Go see for yourself.
Every once in a while, something comes out of science that changes the world. It is the thing science ficton of yeasteryear never predicts, that everything revolves around. It will be the question of the century, "where were you when you heard about the uncumbleable cookie?"

Ya, I took the survay with Galeon. And it crashed right when I hit the finnished button.

No, really imagine it. Sounds like Devo playing Dueling Banjoes, doesnt it?
Maybe they were hosting it off one of thier linux keyboards.
Clever. But I bet Steve Jobs already has that one trademarked. I think you mean iWare

Ya, they both have a small sheet of paper with a blue puzzle piece on it for thier main page.

Well, you could always put it on a floppy di....damnit.
