(ANSWER) Message-ID: <1991Mar20.002756.10388@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu> Date: 20 Mar 91 00:27:56 GMT References: <1991Mar19.175408.22377@macc.wisc.edu> Organization: Engineering Computer Network, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK Lines: 21 I thought I'd add my experiences/opinion to this thread. Here at Oklahoma University, they wouldn't sell me the 2 floppy LC. They said it was for institutional purchase only. I think that if you find a computer store selling them, they are probably not following Apple's edu rules strictly. I think they should have let the 2 floppy for purchase, but then you will always have the cheap-os that will try to run off two floppies. When they finally get frustrated at the speed, they conclude not that they should have bought the hard drive, but that the Macintosh sucks. Sort of reminds me of the Monty Python thing with the logic professor and his wife that when given the two facts of Mackrel (or some fish) are fish and and all fish swim, she concludes that "Mackrel can't fly, or more often, that I don't love her anymore." -- ----------------------- Kent Miller KENT@aardvark.ucs.uoknor.edu Bitnet -> KENT@uokucsvx
