To Bob C. and James et al, Also, one reason why there is almost no chatter within this group is that we are like the Neanderthals (Hn) who were slowly excluded from their ancient European environment by the Cro-Magnons (Hs) with this noticeable exception. Our environment (I.E. OS 6.0.8 and earlier) is not a dying environment but is 'inhabited ' by a group of diminishing population who do not seem to be having problems or troubles using OS 6. We are more like the Shakers who died out for want of reproduction rather than for want of use.
I use OS 6.0.8 on a Mac IIci for my text processing and spread sheet functions which are handled nicely by WORD V 4.0 and EXCEL V. 2.2 (a truly ancient version). I also use OS 7.5.3 and 7.6.1 when I have need to do so which is rare; these OS versions are the boot OS on several external drives as is other copies of OS 6.0.8 installed on external SCSI hard drives. What a god send that has been in being able to back up data and to restore entire disks when (not if) the need to do so has occured and will occur. Mel PS: If you can read this email I would appreciate some feed back since the change has occured I am not sure anymore if anyone can read my posts whereas (QED) I can read yours. --- "Bob C." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > James, > > I think the reason there hasn't been much "debate" > is because it wasn't > really up for discussion; the decision had already > been made by the list > owner, after hearing years of complaints about the > Maclaunch lists, over > which he had no control.
