No matter what kind of MAC it is, it's still a MAC... And the root of all of Jerry's bad luck. Why do you think he never has a constant girlfriend? If I had a MAC sitting in the back of my living room, I wouldn't have very much luck with women either... They have some kind of evil power lurking in their crappy processors.

I think last time it was a Mac Classic. It changes now and then.

BTW: I'm sure it's your NeXTStation that lures the women to your bedroom.

His computer from the beginning until '93-'94 was a Mac Classic. At the beginning of that season it changed to what it is now which is a Macintosh Duo which is a desktop docking device for the powerbook (the Macintosh notebook.)

At least he still uses an Apple, but I miss Snapple.

	It doesn't have a Mac look to it.  Anyway, Jerry is on Prodigy.
He said that he was on Prodigy and would get a print out of all the
discussions on Prodigy and take a look at what people say.  I think he's
confused Prodigy with Internet (if he even knows there is a difference;-)).
	If I'm not mistaken--the article was in GQ.

Its a Mac alright. An LC of some description. He was asked about the internet in an article in Sept Esquire. He didnt approve of being 'on line' as a matter of principle. Made him think of queues, which he hates. Who knows what he really thinks - fame - you get to the stage where you just open your mouth and say anything.

You can use Prodigy on a Mac. Why you'd want to I have no idea...

Also, those who use Prodigy for the most part aren't aware enough to know what the internet is, or else they wouldn't be using Prodigy. (A service that has to have public posts approved by a censor? Come on!)

It is a Mac. It's the mac with a Duo Doc station. His mountain bike changes often also. He hangs it in the back somewhere.

The Macintosh on Jerry's desk is a PowerBook Duo notebook that is in its Duo Dock with an Apple 13" RGB Display on top of the Dock.

Anyone with *any* computer in their living room probably doesn't have much luck with women. :)
