Heh I still have the back half of my original 128K Mac some where. I
swapped it out for a new back when I upgraded it to a Mac Plus. I
loved the foot long screwdriver they sent to open the case.

You can't confuse her with email/browser if she's never done it. If she

Think the goal should be to make the experience of using a computer, at

driving a new or late model, good-shape car as possible. My overall

This was a fad some years ago called "neural networks" and the attempto
