Appling County is a county located in the U. S. state of Georgia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 18,236; the county seat is Baxley. Appling County is named for Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Appling, a soldier in the War of 1812. Appling County, the 42nd county created in Georgia, was established by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on December 15, 1818; the original county consisted of Creek lands ceded in the 1814 Treaty of Fort Jackson and the 1818 Treaty of the Creek Agency. On December 15, 1824, Ware County was formed by the Georgia General Assembly from the southern half of Appling land districts 4, 5, 6, all of land districts 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. On December 24, 1825, Appling County land district 6 was added to Telfair County by an act of the Georgia General Assembly; this created an ambiguity of the border between Telfair County and Ware County, solved by additional legislation. On December 8, 1828, Georgia was declared the county seat by the General Assembly. Court was held at residence of William Carter Jr.

In 1836, the General Assembly appointed a seven-member commission to find a location for a more centrally located county seat than Holmesville, but were not able to come to a conclusion. The need for a more central county seat would remain a point of contention in county politics for several decades. On December 18, 1857, the part of Appling County, south of Lightsey's Ford on Big Creek downstream to the Little Satilla River was taken from Appling County for the creation of Pierce County. At the time of the 1850 United States Census, Appling County had a white population of 2,520, a slave population of 404, 25 free people of color. By the 1860 United States Census, the county had a white population of 3,442, a slave population of 740, 3 free people of color. On August 27, 1872, eastern sections of Appling land districts 3 and 4 were added to Wayne County; this area included Wayne County's current county seat Jesup, which became the new county seat of Wayne County in 1873. In August 1872, the General Assembly called for an election in Appling County to vote on the removal of the county seat to a point along the Macon and Brunswick Railroad.

The residents voted for removal and the town of Baxley, Georgia was selected as the new county seat after the election. In February 1873, the General Assembly mistakenly passed a law giving county commissioners to sell the public lands in Holmesville so the proceeds can go to the construction of a new courthouse in Holmesville, they amended the law a year for the new courthouse location to read Baxley as it had been intended. On August 18, 1905, Jeff Davis County was created from western portions of Appling County and eastern portions Coffee County. On July 27, 1914, Bacon County was created from parts of Appling County, Pierce County, Ware County; the remaining section of Appling County, south of Little Satilla River became part of Bacon County. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 512 square miles, of which 507 square miles is land and 5.2 square miles is water. The southern two-thirds of Appling County, south of a line from Graham to Baxley running due east from Baxley, is located in the Little Satilla River sub-basin of the St. Marys River-Satilla River basin.

The northern third of the county is located in the Altamaha River sub-basin of the basin by the same name.

A legacy-free PC is a type of personal computer that lacks a floppy drive, legacy ports, an Industry Standard Architecture bus. According to Microsoft, "The basic goal for these requirements is that the operating system and end users cannot detect the presence of the following: ISA slots or devices; the legacy ports are replaced with Universal Serial Bus ports. A USB adapter may be used. According to the 2001 edition of Microsoft's PC System Design Guide, a legacy-free PC must be able to boot from a USB device. Doing away with older more bulky ports and devices allows a legacy-free PC to be much more compact than earlier systems and many fall into the nettop or All in One form factor. Netbooks and Ultrabooks could be considered a portable form of a legacy-free PC. Legacy-free PCs can be more difficult to upgrade than a traditional beige box PC, are more expected to be replaced when they become obsolete. Many legacy-free PCs include modern devices that may be used to replace ones omitted, such as a memory card reader replacing the floppy drive.

As the first decade of the 21st century progressed, the legacy-free PC went mainstream, with legacy ports removed from available computer systems in all form factors. However, the PS/2 keyboard connector still retains some use, as it can offer some uses not offered by USB. Apple's iMac G3 was the first example of a legacy-free PC drawing much criticism for its lack of legacy peripherals such as a floppy drive and Apple Desktop Bus connector. However, its success popularized USB itself. From November 1999 to July 2000, Dell's WebPC was an early less-successful Wintel legacy-free PC. More legacy-free PCs were introduced around 2000 after the prevalence of USB and broadband internet made many of the older ports and devices obsolete, they took the form of low-end, consumer systems with the motivation of making computers less expensive, easier to use, more stable and manageable. The Dell Studio Hybrid, Asus Eee Box and MSI Wind PC are examples of more-successful Intel-based legacy-free PCs. Apple introduced the Apple Modem on October 12, 2005 and removed the internal 56K modem on new computers.

The MacBook Air, introduced on January 29, 2008 omits a built-in SuperDrive and wired Ethernet connectivity, available on all other Mac computers sold at the time. The SuperDrive would be removed from all Macs by the end of 2016, while wired Ethernet would be removed from all MacBook models; the relaunched MacBook in 2015 dropped features such as the MagSafe charging port and the Secure Digital memory card reader. It only kept two types of ports: a USB 3.1 Type-C port. This configuration found its way in the MacBook Pro in 2016, the only difference being that two or four USB ports were included instead of just one. In addition, all MacBook Pro except for the entry-level model replaced the function keys with a Touch Bar; these changes led to criticism.

Rancho San Antonio Abad, a land grant in what is now the western part of Tijuana in the Tijuana Municipality of Baja California, Mexico. The name of the rancho derives from Saint Anthony the Abbot; the origin of this rancho is obscure, but was one of the earliest ranchos established around San Diego. It is mentioned in a report in 1828, with the various ranchos of the San Diego region, Pennasquitos, de la Nación, San Ysidro, El Rosario and Temescal. Among them is mentioned that of San Antonio Abad as a rancho with 300 cattle, 80 horses, 25 mules and some grain fields on it, it may have used by the Presido. The property of the Rancho San Antonio Abad would have been bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, to the south by the 11 league Rancho El Rosario and from 1829 it would have been bounded on the east by the Rancho Tía Juana, it would in 1833, be bounded on the north by the Rancho Melijo or Rancho de La Punta of Santiago E. Arguello, that lay from the line of hills south of the Tijuana River valley on the coast north to the San Diego Bay.

San Antonio Abad's location would put it below the modern Mexican border along where El Camino Real ran north along the coast to San Diego. In 1836-37, during the time of the Kumeyaay warfare against the ranchos, this rancho was being administered along with the Rancho Otay, by the same Santiago E. Arguello of Rancho Meilijo, son of Santiago Arguello owner of the Rancho Tía Juana, indicating it may not yet have been in private hands at that time, its title was never before an the California Land Commission, further indicating its bounds were south of the borderline. Following the Mexican American War, during the 1853-1854, invasion of Baja California by the fillibuster William Walker his retreating force marching north along the El Camino Real to California, resting in ruined missions and abandoned ranchos along the way encamped at the Rancho San Antonio Abad that lay just south of the border on the coast along the highway. There he negotiated his surrender to American officials in San Diego.

A map of the Rancho Melijo made by a county surveyor for its land commission case, indicates that the line of hills extending along the border south of the Tijuana River and down the coast into Mexico, were known as the San Antonio Hills indicating the northern limit of the Abad rancho. It would seem that sometime between Walker's occupation of the abandoned rancho in 1854 and 1856 Santiago Arguello had acquired the rancho. On January 2, 1856, Santiago Arguello signed a sworn statement about the legal validity of the Mexican title of the San Pascual Rancheria. At the end of the document he signed it with a statement that indicated that he was the owner and resided at the rancho San Antonio Abad: "Given in my rancho of San Antonio Abad a Ti Juan. S. Arguello"Rancho San Antonio Abad seems not to have been kept together under that name as it does not appear in a report of settlements and ranchos in Baja California Norte in 1906, although there are a number of ranchos named San Antonio in the area mentioned
