Not that target audience, definitely. But I wouldn't underestimate how much productive software was used on Macs via Telnet, at corporations and at universities as well as by random hackers who loved the Mac GUI.


I kind of would, given how little presence Mac OS (pre-OS X) had outside US market.

We were all using a mix of MS-DOS/Windows, Amiga and Ataris.

What I remember was getting Small-C and K&R C compilers to kind of get corporation/university work done at home, no one was that rich enough to pay for telnet connections over long term dialups.
