I don't know about you, but the MAC CLASSIC, any of the new so called
"LOW COST" Macs are nothing but expensive and WAY under powered!

Are you kidding?  For the price of an Classic system, I could have a
4 meg ST, 40 meg hard drive, and much better monitor for
LESS than what it costs to by a MAC CLASSIC, and if I do want a MAC
I can get the emulator for a price, that is comparable, to the system
Apple is selling.

If you people really KNEW how much it costs to make these Macs, you would
call Apple a RIP OFF.  Which thier hardware is!
 
Thank God for NeXT! And Atari, otherwise, only the rich could enjoy
SUPER performance computing.
