I could swear that they boned up in last week's episode. Wasn't it set in 1977? I swore I saw an Apple Lisa in there. Then again, maybe one of the earlier time travelers brought it back.If it were set in 1979, I'd rather be packing an Atari 800.
My Windows laptop is still running fine and I bought mine a year before them.Also, what's the deal with Apple requiring you to have the latest and greatest OS just to get a Safari update? Half the websites didn't render right (before my wife's laptop died) because apple wouldn't let her update past version 1.3 or something without shelling out $$$ for a newer version of OS X.Not that I want to, but I could go update to IE8 for free on my 6-year-old laptop.
my f**king commodore 64 still works. my nintendo still works. these things prove nothing about the products themselves since all i did was store them nicely.
I interviewed for a OS X administrator position at NASA at Moffett Field, Mountain View, CA. They have a *huge* number of Macs.NASA's computers MUST be infallible... they define the term "Mission Critical." That's why they use Macs for all of the important stuff, things for which Windows PCs are woefully inadequate.

I have a working ps/2, but because it doesn't fit my needs, I don't use it. I like high speed internet.
