Hello!

I checked the drive again and read in the back "Apple PC 5.25 Drive" so that
settles it, it is not a IIGS drive like I thought. It has 37 pins (wow!)
Anyway what was that again about a PC compatibility card??   I didn't know
Apple made those back then!  I never thought Apple was so desperate to make
IBM compatible solutions that early!

Although I am glad that the Mac has its place now.  You are either a PC fan
or a Mac fan (being a Mac fan is a lot more fun ;)).  Nowadays people who
use PeeCees are beginning to treat the mac (or at least have to accept it)
as a complete, fully functional computer.  I mean I remember one day I heard
someone say that if you were a musician or an art designer the mac was "ok";
but for games, internet and such the PC was the way to go.  I had to answer,
I remember I said, "well yes if you just want to browse the web & play games
I'd suggest buying a web TV and a playstation and it'd still be cheaper than
a PC with all the technical support calling you'd be doing and paying for &
upgrades since in two years they are obsolete, I still have a 5 year old mac
still going strong".  I don't even remember what he answered since is was
not a comment "smart enough" to remember.  I also told him about the A/V
capabilities my Mac has that most  PCs still at this time do not bring.  I
still can do a lot of things with my 8500/150 and I haven't yet upgraded
anything other than HD & RAM.
