   A Macintosh computer (made by Apple Inc.).

   Although our Macs served us well, in those early, dark years Macintosh users were effectively excommunicated by the computer establishment.

   Built by Matthew Weed, a blind political science and history major, and Victor Grigorieff, a computer science and psychology major, the system is based on a Macintosh IIfx, although it can run on earlier models, since each Mac program has a similar interface.

   Apple, IBM, and Motorola have teamed up to produce this 32-bit chip that will be used in future Apple Macintoshes and IBM PCs. PowerPC systems will run Mac or Unix programs, and possibly Windows software in the future.

   If you invest the time to learn one Windows or Mac program, you'll automatically have mastered the basic skills to use hundreds of others.
