Sigh. This group is NOT here to debate the pros and cons of Mac versus IBM. If you don't like the Mac, please don't read this group. I promise that I, who don't like the IBM, won't make snide comments in net.micro.pc. I don't want to start up turf wars, either. The world has room for both machines to be a success.
