Koala) Newsgroups: net.micro.mac Subject: Consumer Reports on Mac Message-ID: <2190@nsc.UUCP> Date: Fri, 11-Jan-85 00:01:26 EST Article-I.D.: nsc.2190 Posted: Fri Jan 11 00:01:26 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 12-Jan-85 02:47:01 EST Distribution: net Organization: The Warlocks Cave Lines: 23 The latest (january 1985) issue of Consumer Reports discusses the Macintosh in its own article. People who want a relatively unbiased report on the Mac (made slightly inaccurate by time-- they talk about the no=longer=existing dearth of software a bit) should pick it up. Below is an excerpt from their "Recommendations" section, jsut to let you know what they think about it. The Apple Macintosh is far and away the easiest computer to learn and use that we have ever seen... It is a logically thought-out system taht deserves the careful consideration of anyone about to buy a computer to work on at home or in a small business. We believe that Apple has accomplished what it set out to do. It has produced in teh macintosh a computer that's both exceedingly serious in its capabilities and exceedingly easy to use. And it has put it in a pacage that takes up only 1.4 square feet of desk space. We prefer it to the IBM family for those who do not require that old family tie. -- From the ministry of silly talks: Chuq Von Rospach {allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Now look here Mister "I'm not just a word processor"...
