I know. I feel your pain. Tho' I was an Archimedes user and looked down at poxy, underpowered CISC machines. ;�) Got my first Miggy about 6-7yr ago. Lovely machine, weird GUI, incomprehensible CLI. Must get OS 3.9 one of these days. I also want to try to run a Mac emulator on it sometime. But let's not forget the lack of memory protection, the lack of VM, the fact that the OS was a complete PITA without a hard disk or at least twin floppies and saintly patience... But yes. For its time, awesome. So much has been forgotten today with these /wretched/ PC things. -- Liam Proven Home: http://welcome.to/liamsweb * Blog: http://lproven.livejournal.com AOL, Yahoo UK: liamproven * ICQ: 73187508 * MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
