Message-ID: <1990Oct23.065711.29990@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu> Date: 23 Oct 90 06:57:11 GMT References: <34248@nigel.ee.udel.edu> Sender: news@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (The Daily News) Organization: Columbia University Lines: 27 Rather than argue with the many fallacies in Marc Barrett's post, such as claiming that the Mac Classic comes standard with a hard drive, which it doesn't, or say that it costs $1,000 with HD, which it doesn't (Columbia's price is $1,171), I will simply point out one simple fact: No one will respect someone who finds it necessary to post to the net from a different account every time, just to make sure that people trying to kill your posts fail. Not only don't you put the word Apple or Mac in the subject, but this time you out did yourself: your full name didn't appear! BTW, for those people who ARE interested in this subject, STILL. A valid point is that the A500 can allow users to be introduced to just about ANY field of computing. Perhaps we don't have an excellent database or spreadsheet, but we have a little bit of everything, including color and yes, we have good games. That is something I'd look for in a computer if I am buying a low-end machine. -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu GorbachevAwards++; free (SovietUnion); IndependentRepublics += 15;
