OLD DAYS

[Igor Gueths]

Hey Alex. I remember the apple 2gs, and it took 5 mins to boot also. It had a 3.5 fd with the echo synth that I could somewhat understand. Oh wasn't that word processor called Bex? The thing booted off a floppy I think. I wonder if that was its entire kernel and rest of os and software all on that disk? Old ass mac system!
