One of the few examples of Apple imitating the PC instead of vice versa. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

tonyc carpal tunnel Registered: 27/06/1999 Posts: 7058 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	False. Ctrl-OpenApple-Reset worked on the //e (1982) and later. The Apple ][ and Apple ][+ just had a reset key. http://www.lowendmac.com/lab/02/0815.html _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

trs24 old hand Registered: 20/03/2002 Posts: 729 Loc: Palo Alto, CA	Hmmm. I coulda sworn.... Hmmm... Me too. [edit] actually... when I think really really hard (maybe hypnosis would help) I remember that reset switch having an extra rigid spring - making it hard to accidentally press the reset switch. And I do seem to remember it being just a one-button reset.[/edit] BTW - ran across this site: http://www.apple-history.com/. Man that's is a trip down memory lane. I can still vividy remember the sound of that Macintosh 512k keyboard and mouse. sproing!! Also, I like how they have a link to hide/show the performas in the list. - trs Edited by trs24 (29/01/2004 17:51) _________________________ - trs
