I agree, Bella.
As do I. I also like the NEXTstep bio by Aurora and thank her for liking my ideas.

Hard to believe I made my Mac family tree two years ago!

Time sure does fly, doesn't it? : o

I'll only include led lighting and hardware that do have characterizations and backstory. Now we just need to place them into their proper factions.

Also, two new bios, leaders of the personal computer revolution!:

Hello new person! It's nice to see somebody interested in our work here. I'm especially interested why you've chosen to post about Altair 8800 and IMSAI-tan. ^_^

You should go introduce yourself in the Member Introduction Thread or say hi in Topicless. ^.^

Excellent work, Aurora!  Is there still much being done in the community with the unused or developmental Windows builds?

Vista did get dumped pretty hard herself, that might make her sympathetic to Longhorn?  Interesting indeed.
