H-Z used an OS called the Z80,or maybe it was the processor (memory fades) and

I never owned any type of Apple except the iPhone and could not tell you which
machine I saw a demonstration of back in the early 90s.  They were very nice
machines, but way out of my price range.

I have all of that (I think) except the server edition and once had Windows
3.11 before the storm of 2005 took them away.  You didn't have Windows 3.11?

The last time I fooled around with the *nix stuff was Mandrake 10.0, which I
think I still have.
