Message-ID: <11307@milton.u.washington.edu> Date: 17 Nov 90 20:30:48 GMT References: Sender: news@milton.u.washington.edu Reply-To: cyliao@hardy.acs.washington.edu (Chun-Yao Liao) Organization: University of Washington, Seattle Lines: 25 Ha, a week ago, there was a small expo here too, there were IBM (hey RT 6000 is nice one, and resonablly priced!) Zenith, MicroSoft, and Apple com. Most people gathered with IBM and Apples. Obviously, Classic, LC and IIsi are there. A rep was trying to convince a //e owner to get the LC because it can add a //e card. While the rep was pushing more and more "goodeis" of Mac LC, I played around with it (yeah, the LC) and in a few minutes, "Crash!" "Sorry, Fatal system erro, please reboot"(or something similar) alone with a "bomb!" I said (yes, said, not laughed) "ha ha". The guy who was almost conviced by the rep then showed doubtful of getting a LC :-) He then said to rep that one thing he liked his //e is because it's so reliable that almost never crashes:-) Ok, no Apple //s there nor //e card. I was a bit mad... so I was playing with //si... another rep with smillie face came to me and asked me "which one of these you are going to buy?" I replied "I am not going to buy any 'Mac'". Without a single word spoken, this rep went away from me, ha. oh well, what can I say? cyliao@wam.umd.edu o NeXT : I put main frame power on two chips. @epsl.umd.edu o people: We put main flame power on two guys. @bagend.eng.umd.edu o :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx (reserved) o RC + Apple // + Classic Music + NeXT = cyliao
