A little behind on our News reading, are we?

In any event, after a couple months of trying to find something
usefull to do with those Macs, I gave up.  I have A/UX.  As
Unix goes, it is not impressive.  If I could have dumped all of
Apple's garbage OS and maybe put something like CP/M68K on I
might have decided they were worth something, but, alas, no.
There isn't even a reasonable version of Linux for the Mac.
So they are in the pile of stuff I will be getting rid of at
some point as I need to really pare down my collection.
