Is this machine an SE? Do this... is it a Mac II? HasColorQD is TRUE.. but then it could be an SE/30 too, so better check for that..." Speaking as a Mac programmer who's been at it for about three years now, I have to ask: "WHAT inconsistencies?" The real nuisance I've come across is checking for Color QuickDraw. And then there's this business of different keyboards, with or without control keys, or with the plus and minus keys on the numeric keypad swapped (I check for the keyboard type, *not* which model of Mac it is). And that's it. What am I missing? By the way, have you considered getting a job with Microsoft...?
