Well, today in class we got to look at the insides of computers (I've
seen enough of those myself, but I suppose not every student is either
that curious or that daring).  First the professor showed some PC
compatible insides with their little Intel chips.  When the Macintosh
board was shown, and the professor pointed out the CPU chip, I could
not help but exclaim, "Oh, it's a REAL cpu!"  Interestingly, about 2
other people seemed to understand what I was saying and laughed.  About
another 2 seemed to understand what I was saying and gave nasty looks.
The rest of the class just had no clue.  The professor just kinda played
middle ground, trying to avoid the matter entirely.  :)  Ah yes, fun
before Thanksgiving break.

Which reminds me... Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
