rather then respond item by item to that barrage of
gibberish, moron, remember what prompted your original
response - I had said it was unfortunate that Apple
didn't build the MACINTOSH with a crt controller. Then
you went on to eat up unnecessary bandwidth with a
reply that meant next to nothing.
let's see if I'm allowed to post to Lisa list today. I
don't know about all that. Could an early Mac do this:
