I don't know how many hundreds of hours we spent on it, but I loved that machine! I was also using PCs already, but had the most fun hacking on the Apple and the Commodore 64 in those days. Fast forward several years to me moving to the US, and getting a job in computers and education and eventually being certified as an Apple Systems Engineer: One of my early installs was networking a school's Apple IIgs computers to Mac SE file servers.. that brings back some good memories! I started out with a Mac LC that was on loan from work and have always had multiple Macs at home ever since. Another early amusing memory was my boss signing on to AppleLink (the pre-AOL online forum for Apple vendors & employees) and sending me a message to sign off so he could call me on the phone at home! I was using a Mac when I joined AOL and first got to know you and so many others who are still great friends even after all these years and all this distance. I started talking to Karen on AOL back in 1995, not only because we were friends on the forums online, but because she needed some Mac troubleshooting help. 16 years later, we're still happily married and both have Mac laptops. Apple, and by association Steve Jobs, has played a huge part in my life too... he will be sorely missed. - Robin My first experience with Apple Computers was when a relative got an Apple II while I was in High School.

So yeah, as soon as he heard "you can play as Sith", that was the end of that. ;) Me? I'm gonna test out the ability to go neither light or dark but "grey". Mwhahha. :D I’d use that argument, except for the fact that one of his regular use names is “Exar”, aka “bad-ass powerful Jedi that went very, very bad and Sithy”.

But with all the separate storylines for each class, I'll prolly end up making at least one Republic side character as well, so I can get through at least level 10 and see how their story develops. :) I’ve always been more of a fantasy person too, but at this point, it’s all “fantasy”: it just has more electronics than WoW. ;)

But I'd be Republic, I seriously fell for all the info on the Jedi Consular class, it looks awesome. There is some really cool Sith stuff, too, though, so I know I would have a character on that side as well. :) We'll just have to see, because I have always been more of a fantasy person than sci-fi. :) I am looking at it and seriously considering trying it out.

I hope all are well. I closed my shop June 30th and moved what was left of inventory into storage - Atrium/A+ Storage. It is a new place, air conditioned, booths in front for folks to rent by the month to sell whatever they have - well almost whatever :). I have opened my booth on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in hopes to catch the majority of the people. I am still moving things around. If you get down this way come by and see it. There are several great booths in there. Take care and happy anniversary, Mary Hi,
