What does killing a god have to do with choosing computers?

The eMate 300, while made/sold by Apple, was NOT a Mac. It was a Newton. A Newton is not a Mac.

The quiz is a little off, the question about hitting Shift 5 times to activate a special feature is BOTH Mac and PC, on a Mac it would turn on universal access features.

I had to recall the early Mac design language to interpret #3 correctly. I had actually read about the Pippin not that long ago. The Mac like design ones weren’t too tough to spot, and I’ve actually handled an eMate, so that one wasn’t very difficult for me. The one that got me was the Xerox mouse question. Pretty tricky that one.

Mac is really just a rebadged PC with a higher price tag at this point. Oh, and lots more DRM added.
