Re: "I thought MacWrite needed no explanation"
Reminds me of when I was a trainer at a call centre at a large utility company in the mid-90's.
One of my trainees came to me convinced the fax machine had broken. I asked them what was up and they said they did not know.
So I asked why they thought it was broken.
Well, I've just sent this fax [flapping a bit of paper in my face]
Yes, and...
Well, I still have the bit of paper so it's clearly not sent
Wait, so... No actually you genuinely think the fax machine shreds the paper into component atoms and fires the whole lot down the phone line to be reassembled the other end don't you
Well is that not how they work?
