Message-ID: <90309.212836UD169430@NDSUVM1.BITNET> Date: 6 Nov 90 03:28:36 GMT Organization: North Dakota Higher Education Computer Network Lines: 23 I just bought an old Sun 2/120 to play with (I havn't actually GOTTEN it yet, but pieces are in the mail and should arrive quite soon) so I've started reading comp.sys.sun and alt.sys.sun and a little comp.sys.NeXT just 'cuz I'm impressed with the machine. Now for the bulk of the message....I've been into Apple's for about 10 years now, I've got a IIgs (loaded) and I thought I knew quite a bit about it, and computers in general. Now in reading these new groups I feel like an absolute idiot/neophyte. Are these machines really that much more complex, or is it simply because I'm so new to the platform? Just fishing for impressions... Mike --- Mike Aos "I own a Harley, not just a T-shirt!" ['68 Sporty] East Grand Forks, MN (yeah, it's COLD up here) Are Amiga's really (218) 773-9154 | Woz | that bad?
