Was that a hunert bucks for a pallet of how many Macs? Or a hunert bucks for each Mac
(OUCH!)? If they got it, bad for us; good for them. And they probably had Load Runner
on at least one of 'em.
When it's cold, ya gotta heat that waterbed somehow. It all becomes part of the
household heat anyway. When up to temp, just shut down some of the Macs. BTW, no, I
haven't actually done this. But it is more novel to talk about than the same old
Macquarium talk. There are lots of novel uses for old Macs dead or alive.
