Re: OT: Macs and Cars? Was: Re: Word Juggler
To me the mac is like a harley and a ford.. Trusted reliable and built to last forever. The new laptops are following the artsy trend away from the desktop and I approve. Kill the imac. Boost the emac and the G4 tower. The new laptops are a good step. You have your pinto, granada, and the crown vic. Or in other terms, the sportster, the shovelhead, and the roadking. -Original Message- From: Vintage Macs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mark Benson Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 12:32 PM To: Vintage Macs Subject: Re: OT: Macs and Cars?

Speaking of such things, is Lucas (aka Prince of Darkness) still in business? Yup, hand in hand with Marelli, Son of the Prince of Darkness. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Word Juggler
I acquired 8 diskettes at some auction somewhere and for years, they sat in my freezer in the back building. So, I retire and I decide that I will do a little research and see what these diskettes are. Well, ... I put up a page about them. Word Juggler for the Apple III is really the modern day, Quark, world wide, one of the most popular and expensive programs that newspapers use. Click the url below. Word Juggler certainly helped make the Macintosh an important computer, even our Vintage Macintoshes. If you have any other info on those disks, let me know. I may or may not put them on eBay sometime. Dale -- Caddo County Harpman - ccharpman! If you can't harp the blues, then you ain't a harp player.
