- Let's examine this for a second... I've decided to take a whole new tact
- with these ASSumptions floating around here, so here goes :)
-
- Q: WHAT WILL KILL THE APPLE IIGS?
-
- A: Any of the following:
- - A 12 gauge shotgun blast 3" to the right of the logo from 4-8 feet.
- - Falling 35,000 feet from a TWA 747 over Greenland.
- - 350 degrees for 2 hours in a convection oven.
- - Mt. St.Helens on a bad day.
- - Being left in the center lane of the Dan Ryan expressway in Chicago
- between 3 and 7 pm on a weeknight.
- - Submersion off the Florida Keys for 3 months.
-
- You know, we could all probably add to this list... a sort of impromptu
- safety guide for the care and feeding of the GS... That could be fun and
- although not productive, it could distract all these doom and gloom junkies
- so the rest of us could spend more time getting things done on/for the GS
- and less time basking nay-sayers heads against their respective news feeds.
-
- I for one am going to go out of my way to make sure that none of these
- horrible things happen to my GS. Mine won't be dead by '93 (or '94 either :)
