Thanks Ed. I’ve been an apple user since the days of the ll/e. I even set up a ll/e lab in a school where I worked in the early ‘80s.
I have always had Macs. I did get a Compaq computer as a second computer back in the day because I wanted to learn how to network them. It was never a primary computer for me but my wife used it for her personal work till she retired (she was a mainframe computer programmer who worked from home and used a pc to connect to the mainframe. She thought it would be too confusing to switch from the work pc to the personal computer if it was a Mac. When she retired I got her a MacBook pro which she has been using ever since). I took the hard drive out of the compaq and trashed the computer. Life is good. > On Dec 2, 2019, at 11:46 AM, John Robinson <[email protected]> wrote: > > I love your ending, you’ve been watching too many political ads. > > Try this one on, which I did: Delete C: (alt delete alt).
