The very first cell phone as well as all of the 68k and PowerPC processors used in Apple Computers from 1990 to 2003 were built just 4 miles from my house. B)
Oh yeah? Well there is a WS4000 within' walking distance of my house :P
Oh yeah? Well depending on my speed, i could walk the 4 miles in less than an hour.... So HA! :P

I was not aware that Apple made set-top boxes in the mid 90's. They were only prototypes, though.

Attention Mac Fans-I just picked up an Imation USB Superdisk drive for the Mac. I also have various Mac software, including Office 2001, StuffIt Deluxe, Quicken 2004, and Roxio Creator Plus.

If your interested, let me know.  :sunglasses:

Is it needed to have anti-virus software on a Mac? Mac viruses are extrmemely rare

I think my dad could use Office 2001. He currently has Office 1998 on his G3!

I don't think so. But being safe is better than being sorry.

Once again, since Vic jsut HAD to post something completley irrelevant:

Since Mike posted first, he gets first dibs on the Office 2001. If he doesn't want it, I'll take everything. Let me know how much you want for it all. :)

Gil, I haven't heard from Mike on Office 2001, so everything is yours if you make me an offer.  :sunglasses:

I'm not interested in it. I was just sharing that my dad still has a very old version of Office on his computer.

No, you said you thought he could use Office 2001.  <_<

Thanks for waiting so long to let me know.  <_<

Got a question: Can Office 2001 run on my PowerMac 6500?
