Apples

Went to have a chat with one of my neighbours today, who owns part of a major Belgian Apple distributor. I have a laptop to replace, you know. He introduced me to what's available, and promised me he'd bring me a catalog somewhere these week. Those apple laptops are not only sexy, they're apparently also quite cheap; the only less nice bit is that they don't really have the high clock frequencies of Intel machines. Yes, I know the clock frequency isn't the only relevant metric when talking about the performance of a processor; but the difference is astonishing. Oh well.

I also got some other, m68k-powered, Apples today. P2 brought me a IIci and a Quadra950. Cool; now I'll just need to get them to work, which is a different story

Oh, and I finally got debian-installer to behave on a 2.2-based serial console. Which is nice, too, since that's something one will need when trying to install Debian on VME hardware. Not that I expect many people will still try to install Debian on VME hardware these days, but that's a different matter
