Oh man, I remember when my grandmother, an IBM retiree, got access to one of those 5 meg "side slap-on" harddrives for her XT. I couldn't believe that she had 5 megs of storage!! This was at the time when I was running stuff of insertable cartridges in my PC Jr. Oddly a friend next door got an apple.. with a color printer and the ability to save data to cassette tapes. I was quietly envious though it took me all the way to OS X before even considering an Apple for anything other then a door stop. :) Greg -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
