The Mothership Crew Takes a Needed Break!
It's been about 54 years since we've taken a vacation break. Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration, but it sure feels like it! So next week, 8/9/04 - 8/13/04, the entire Mothership crew is going on a cruise! Or camping...or something like that. Maybe we'll just sit around in our underwear watching Columbo reruns. Vintage Apple News, and the rest of The Mothership probably won't be updated next week, unless we go crazy from the inactivity. Play nice while we're gone!
