Great forum! and hello...

[Randy]

Thanks for creating and hosting this forum. I bought my first mac, a Mac Plus, in 1986. So I guess -- probably like so many here -- I was a "Mac" guy way back when Mac was cool, and then still "Mac" for that long period where Mac was decidedly (and amazingly) uncool... It's great that being a Mac guy is ubercool once again, thanks to Steve Jobs and the unbelievably great products he's produced since his return. Still, I keep an assortment of older Macs, and, frankly, for some of what I do -- particularly statistical analysis with StatView 512+ -- nothing works as easily and humanely as a classic Mac OS. Anyway, this forum is now a permanent bookmark for me. Thanks again,

Randy

Hello, and welcome to the forums!!

I am sure you will find a wealth of information about classic and old macs, since that's what we do here. I hope you enjoy your stay, and please share more about your systems. Especially that StarView 512+

Not sure exactly what that is, but I would love to know more about it since I haven't heard of it.

What other systems do you have? What about any peripherals?

You might want to head the the "Not rare, but unusual" thread and throw in a few comments.

Welcome aboard, comrade!

I'm sure you'll fit in fine, we've already got a few Steve-o-philes here in the 68kMLA! :

I'm a "woz" kinda guy myself, but we've got room for all sorts here! [] ]'>

TBH I think they both were integral to the creation of Apple.

Basically:

Woz: did all the hacking work, and awesome stuff. But could not do a presentation for his life (No Offense here Woz is da man ) I mean have you seen the Apple ][ video with him as the host on youtube?

Steve: Did all the presenting and advertising work . Makes all the kludgy work behind the apple ][ and the Macintosh look graceful as a swan. Without his high standards on How the macs should look and work imagine what PCs might have looked like today!
