i have the same feelings about the Commie 64 as you do about the
Apple II series...

ugh.  i never really cared for the Mac, in ANY of its incarnations.  i
like WinDOZE even less.

eh.  i'm only reading this 'cause somebody added comp.sys.apple2 to
the list of newsgroups, and i'm sure that this is (generally) how you
managed to hear all that "Mac is EVIL!" stuff from some of us...  :)

never bought a Newton, wouldn't have THOUGHT to try A/UX...  i HAVE a
//gs, though. <g>

at least they don't have jokes about the difference 'tween an Apple II
