It just worked for me.
I have one of those at my house. It still works (and I fire it up from time to time when I feel all nostalgic).

Nice! I know its an obvious reaction, but I kept giggling at the novelty of it. I am also slightly appreciative that there machines have gotten ever-so-slightly cheaper in the last 20-odd years.

Sheesh! Only 22K?Byte Magazine in '84 wrote:The Mac’s display does create a problem. Computer graphics are memory-intensive, once you start drawing pictures, you start using up lots of memory. The video display itself consumes about 22K bytes (or about one-sixth) of the total RAM. Any off-screen manipulation (windows) or information (fonts) chews up additional memory quickly.

I know... if only they were coding stuff now, to be as tight as possible.
There was a brief time in the late 90s where I had just a hair under the amount of system memory, than video memory.

You don't like MS Bloatware? How will they sell faster processors and more RAM if the OS companies don't dog your machine down?!?Encap wrote:I know... if only they were coding stuff now, to be as tight as possible.
