I've eaten at that Outback... first one I ever went to, about 11 years ago. It was a religious experience as a Performa owner :P

Damn European reporters, they should watch and learn, I'd like to see that kind of an insight sometimes here too.
Ooops, it didn't keep the url I put in:

That was a terrible terrible video. Why not visit a site that truely pays homage to what it was like to get an Apple II for the first time. I suggest this TG Daily article, it's great.

I have it playing in a background tab and I am waiting to hear *something* that sounds like a spark of life. I'd have more sympathy if it was a student's first awkward attempt, but this is "CNET News.com's Amanda Termen," who is presumably a professional.
