My 20MB hard drive ($600) was the size of a small paper shredder.Â* I had a modem for 'net connectivity before there were graphical browsers. I also had a 110 bps modem on my Apple IIe, as well...Â* along with a Yamaha MIDI card and an 80 column card for display. The IIGS was an odd beast, an interim product to color Macs. My first Mac was a souped up MacII, which was basically upgraded to a IIfx by the guy I bought it from, it kicked the snot outta the IIGS but cost an arm and a leg (still way cheaper than buying a stock IIfx, though). I never heard of the IIfx.Â* Guess I'll have to search the net for this one. It's the one that Jobs labeled "wicked fast". I didn't want one of the early Macs, I opted for an Atari at that point (it's still laying around somewhere). When the Mac II came along, with slots, I bought. I researched and found out that these were selling at base price of $9000.Â* Would've put me in debt for too long. But then, I was a kid then. Nobody in their right mind would spend $9,000 (or more) on a machine that is useful for no more than two years. Well, I wouldn't claim that I was in my right mind :-), but in 198X [1], I bought a 386DX system with 2MB memory, 40MB disk, printer and software for some 26,000 Dutch guilders list price [2] and I used it for quite a number of years. (Only got rid of it a few years ago.) I have to admit that a 386SX-16 was still pretty useful in 1994 so I can imagine the DX getting even more miles. [1] Would have to dig up the papers in our basement to get a more precise year. [2] No, I did not *pay* that list price. The manufacturer - my employer - was kind enough to give a big discount and the Dutch IRS gave a big tax reduction. If I remember correctly, a 386DX in the 80s would have cost you about as much as a car would. |

So tell me, how do you get a multi-button mouse working under Linux where you can EASILY program the buttons to perform tasks like launching web browser etc. Tell me, can Linux do this ? No Linux-based OS can do: http://Jeff-Relf.Me/MouseKeyboardLayout.PNG |
