Sorry.  You are right.  I was confusing the time I started looking at them
with the time they came out.  I didn't buy the Mac because I crashed the
display model twice in fifteen minutes of checking it out.  That, of
course, is pretty much past.  Most crashes now (once per week in my use of
Mac at work) are the fault of Gates & Co., not of MacOS.
