Oh OK... they are in the warehouse somewhere then! I always wondered if Raskin was on to something here, but allegedly... not. I have the apple card implementation, but I think its very cut-down, didn't spend much time with it. -DC On 10/21/2022 11:12 AM, Andrew Diller via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
Yep, I donated my two Cats to VCF- after trying to use them for a few months.
Totally insane UI (and I hesitate to call it an _interface_). It's a good description to just call it a 'word processing computer that can't print (supports just like 3 specific models) and has bizarre keyboard chords to do anything.'
The article does a good job explaining the backstory but you can't comprehend how impossible the Cat is to actually use unless you sit down and try to do something a 5th grader can do on a Mac- like type and print a simple note. Also forget about networking.
Maybe VCF will get that Cat out on display at the museum at some point so visitors could see for themselves!
