- Great article; only a few nits/corrections...
-
- Jon> All macs now selling has built-in sound input
-
- Except the IIci. (The IIci is the oldest design still being produced)
-
- Jon> Most macs now has ADB ports for keyboards/mice, all macs have SCSI
- Jon> ports, all macs have 2 serial ports
-
- The Plus did not have ADB, all newer machines do (some only have one
- port; the IIci and Quadras are the only currently shipping machines with
- two ADB ports, but you could get Y-jacks, and the Apple 21" and 16"
- color monitors have additional ports).
-
- The PB100 has one external serial port and an internal modem port. The
- 140 and 170 have two external serial ports, but you have to choose
- between the internal modem and the external modem port at any given time.
-
- Jon> The color-capable macs (i.e. all but classic, plus, SE and PB 100)
-
- Not to mention the Outbound machines (even the '030 models).
-
- Jon> ### You have the Easy Access virus. This virus may cause strange sounds
- Jon> ### and weird keyboard behaviour when you press the shift key repeatedly.
-
- Hehehe. Is that like the "24-bit virus" which eats up 10M of RAM?
