- What!?!?! An....(gasp) Apple?!?!?!? Ugh, no way, I really do not
- like Apple's desktop interface and I reallt do not like their
- trackball. Or the IBM machines' either. Even if I got an IBM, then
- I'd have to buy another incompatible word processor. Well, on
- second thought, I have the original GEM Write around here...
-
- No, I'm an original Atari man (since 1978) and I'm not about to get
- another system. (yet- never say never)
-
- Besides, the STBook last longer per charge, and cheaper per Mb than
- the Apple, isn't it?
-
- I guess one could get an IBM notebook, install the original GEM
- (GEM 3 absolutely sucks!! Thanks for nothing, Apple!) interface,
- and slap a few Atari logos (from B&C Comptervisions), and presto..
- an ABC notebook! (Atari, are you listening??)
