Had a long talk with GDW members Loren Wiseman and Frank Chadwick about
computers last Saturday. This was mainly because Loren just got a Macintosh
at work. From what I gathered the workshop is just about all converted
to apple products. They like the apples because they cater to non-computer
types such as GDW, but it still lets them feel like they are doing something
sophisticated. For example, Frank was saying that he didn't know how to get
to MS-DOS to look at an apple file, in fact he barely knows what MS-DOS is or
what it really does. Loren is a little bit better, but then he has a tendency
to tinker with things to figure out how they work.
As far as a USNET connection to GDW the nearest one I know of is 60
miles away at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. I don't
think Illinois State which is in Bloomington-Normal has a connection.
