I dunno if I should be capping on them like this, but many of the
members of SNAFUG (the Southern Nevada Apple Family User Group) are
pretty much the same.  There are a few programmer-types in the group,
but nobody who's really interested in really hacking the Apple II.
(And it's not because the Mac-types have taken over; Apple II users
still comprise the majority of the group's membership, and IIs
outnumber Macs 2-1 at most meetings.  (Some people pack their computers
and take them to the meetings; we usually get a IIe, a IIGS, and a
Mac-something-or-other.))

Probably the worst thing Apple has done for the hacker community was
to introduce the Macintosh, a machine which is almost completely
unhackable and which removed a certain mystique that computers had
until the Mac's introduction.  <donning asbestos suit>
