Message-ID: <7953@darkstar.ucsc.edu> Date: 18 Oct 90 09:16:37 GMT Sender: usenet@darkstar.ucsc.edu Organization: University of California, Santa Cruz; Open Access Computing Lines: 36 So could someone please tell me what Steve Wozniak's participation was in the Mac rollout? Did he ONLY drive a golf cart in with the new Mac w/IIe card into the auditorium?? He didn't say anything? So then he left (the stage at least) after he dropped off the Mac?? I'm just curious. I saw a picture in the paper where Woz was driving a golf cart and someone else mentioned it here. I just was wondering exactly what he did. I dunno... Woz always seemed to still be 'loyal' to the Apple // over the Mac.. And he surely doesn't need the money.. So why'd he do this??? [God, I sure hope something doesn't happen that makes me lose my awe of Woz! I started losing it for Jobs a few years ago when I found out he was the person who started the death of the Apple // by slowing/cancelling many projects to improve the Apple II.... This was around the time the Mac came out] {Also weird that I may someday buy a NeXT from the person who hastened the death of my favorite computer. Unfortunately, the NeXT and the Amiga seem to be the best prospects WHEN I FEEL I NEED A NEW COMPUTER. Even if Apple officially said tomorrow the II was dead I wouldn't rush out and buy a new computer.. But I'd want to buy another one sometime, even if it were not NECESSARY. If I had the money, it'd be nice to buy a computer that was 'wanted' and supported by lots of companies (Amiga specifically here)... I am trying to get the GS wanted and supported currently... WRITE TO SOFTWARE PUBLISHERS/AUTHORS WHEN YOU SEE/HEAR ABOUT A GOOD GAME ON ANOTHER COMPUTER! ASK FOR A GS or IIe VERSION! WE STILL NEED MORE LETTERS TO ORIGIN TO ABSOLUTELY make it clear lots of people want ULTIMA VI GS an ULTIMA VI //e} -- / Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu \ \"If cartoons were meant for adults, they'd be on in prime time."-Lisa Simpson/
