I suppose you could read my apology for a mistake in newgroups, I had
thought I had exited one, while in another.  

Needless to say, I received a total of 133 flaming mail messages since the
original mistake.  I feel like such an idiot for being the only one, every
in history to make such a mistake.  Or at least that was my understanding
from the mail messages... ;-)

Anyways, as a person shopping around the used Macintosh market, just how
limited would I be by purchasing an old Mac 128k or a Mac512k with the old
ROM sets?  Would it be that incompatible with new software?  I have seen
several reasonable offers for the older Macintosh systems, but I am not 
sure if I should bite, or wait around for a reasonable Mac Plus system...

Any replies, mail or posted, would be apprecieated.

No more flames, please!

(Oh, and the Rolex GMT Master (1$1800 watch) and the portable cellular phone
 is still available to any of you wanting to dump off the phone...  You can
 pawn off the watch at a jewelry store for $1200 - Rolex watches are always
 in demand...)
