When I first started getting into computers circa 1987, I was big into
Macs.  The OS was written in Pascal and the firmware was (and still is)
written in FORTH.  I started gravitating to IBM PCs because of BBSes.
These days, I think Macs are trash: they run an open-source OS under a
proprietary (sp?) GUI on underpowered, overpriced, and proprietary
hardware.  I stil have a soft spot for thr Mac Plus and Lisa.

Press and hold the Windows key and press the Pause key.  The System panel,
which contains all of that info, will pop up.
