Similar story, I was beta testing a Lisa at Chevron Research and we
justified the purchase ($10K as I recall) solely on on the project

As Lynn said as he started this thread, he imagined that I and other
long-time MacZealots might have some thoughts to share on this topic.
I decided my thoughts were too long (and perhaps too personal) to post in

said, hey look at this. Want to get one? We went to the local Apple dealer
- yes, there were Apple IIs in Saudi. The dealer told he wouldn't order any
those dev cds are great! I always waited each month to see what
clever title and cool graphics were going to be on them (as well as
all the goodies they contained!). certainly more creative and

Not exactly a manual, but interested in a simulator?

Indeed, why not?
I used to be able to do this in my FrankenLab... NetaTalk, anyone?
We can't do this anymore even outside of my truly FUBAR'd lab??? (see how
ignorance is bliss? all this time, I thought it was just our screwed-up
environment).

Rev tips,
Yep,
I was hired to head up industrial design at a small startup called
'Compaq.' Each day I hauled my Mac 128 up the elvator and the CEO would
make some sort of comment about why I didn't use a Compaq, to which I
replied, "as soon as it could do what the Mac could do I'd switch."
Years late
I can't even remember the year right now, but the place was Atlantic
City (before they tore down the old casinos), at the First East Coast
Computer Fair. I was there exhibiting my Wave Mate Jupiter II small
computer systems (also available as a DYI kit). Everyone was wearing
