Well Bob- this is an interesting place you've chosen. I like what you've
done with it. A blank sheet.

I wonder what com.priv stands for computer privacy or communications privacy.

I miss the spinning icon of Telefinder, but thats about it. I never did
get it to look up new articles so I could read them off line.

I'll put this on my group list.

Well Alan,

I didn't want to get to fancy before I knew what I was doing. But at 
least we have a place to call home I hope. What did you think of the 
scanner? I was impressed. For the money that is quite a nice scanner. 
Considering the color printer I have, an HP 540C, I wouldn't need 
anything better than that one.

I liked it.  It would be nice to be able to play with it for a couple
hours with it hooked up to your machine. She has 20megs of ram I think. I
wonder how much you need. Those Paper Port Scanners cost just $100 less
and they only do black and white.

I saw a review on her scanner (lycos search) and it was luke warm. I think
these magazine people are spoiled. The ones they like are in the $1000
range.

I am looking at getting 28.8 Global Village modem first and the time to
buy RAM is now and they got some nice NEC laser printers for sale for
around $300 that even have postscript 2. What to do, what to do?

I am hesitant to charge anything on my credit card I can't pay off right
away. It took so long to pay it off when the balance got up there.

I think this group is active now !   Welcome home fellow users !

Her scanner impressed me quite a lot. I think it would meet most 
people's needs. It's that whole credit card thing that has kept me from 
getting it as well. It really is an unbelievable price, though. It's 
probably a vicious circle. Get a nice scanner, you'll want a better 
printer, get a better printer, you'll want a nicer scanner, etc. etc. 
etc

Did you see that Apple is going to cut their product line in half? They
should have done that along time ago. Of course these bargains on power
macs will probably dry up, but faster computers are a coming.

I was going thru old receipts, tossing out irrelevant ones. Found one for
my mac plus. For the Plus, Imagewriter II, extra floppy drive and Word=
$3,000!!!

This was  ten years ago dollars.  Mac plus was state of the art then.
Think of the incredible changes between a $3000 system then and now. Wow.
Color to name one.

I'm thinking of giving mine to my nephew. It has 5 megs of Ram in it. 
But I can't really think of anything to do with it. It is pretty slow 
for most things. I thought of taking it to school, but the thought of 
all those little grimy hands eventually tearing apart my beloved Mac is 
more than I can handle.

I figure Apple will go for the high end business applications they do so
well (graphics houses) on their hardware. OS on the low end. Just as you
said. Should have done it years ago. Oh well, I don't own their stock. I
should have bought it at 14- 10 years ago. I thought about it.
