This might not even be important to anyone, but I thought it was pretty cool. On the local news (KRON in SF is the station), they showed a computer camp that someone was running for low income children (or something like that)... The room was filled with IIGSes... And it looked like they were running GS specific programs, except for one thing that looked like a //e program.. although I could be mistaken since it was just on the screen for a second.. One of the computers in the background was showing the infamous sliding apple though... heh.. I just thought it was cool. -- _ __ __ __ _ /-------------------------------\ /_\ |__| | __|(GS) |_| |_ \ / |_| | unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu | / \ | |__ |__ | |__ \/ | \ | unknown%darkside.com@ames.arpa | Computer engineering student seeking a job. \-------------------------------/

If you want to see some more apples in action doing work that would probably not be given to apples in this country, watch 'beyond 2000' on the discovery channel (cable). The show is made in australia and absolutely every computer I've seen on there has been an apple (probably a //e). The two most recent (in one show, I believe) was one that farmers used to determine lots of "farm stuff" and another I don't remember now although I did when I started typing this. (of course, I had to say 'ouch' when I saw that the farmers were using 300-baud acoustic-coupled modems)
