Get with it man!  I'd rather buy an Amiga for half the price and emulate a
MAC with better speed (plus a _real_ multitasking OS).  Go to some Amiga
groups and post to Jim Drew about how good (IE kludge) a Mac is. :>

I personally own a PC, with a Gus soundcard (32 channels, 16-bit) ...
which is quite a bit better than a Mac with lousy 8-bit sound.  And not to
mention the nose-bleed Apple prices.  And Windoze... it's about as real of
an OS as System 7.

All CompSci people know Mac's are for computer novices.  No one would do
anything serious on a Mac.  It's "friendly" OS is good for beginners...
and that's all.
