Hi.
I can't say whether the Mac is a good thing or not, because I have been a
vassal of Bill Gates and the Micro$oft Corporation for so long, that
Windows is all that I know. I have found down through the years, however,
that sometimes the perceived superiority or inferiority of the software has
as much to do with a user's personal preferences, and what they are
familiar with as it does with the actual quality of the product.
So, until I can find someone who is expert enough with the Mac to show me
how it is supposed to work, and willing to let me sit down and use it for a
while, I guess I'll have to reserve judgement on it's merits. I do like
the idea that there is another company out there, however insignificant, to
keep Micro$oft from becoming totally arrogant and impossible.
73, de Lou K2LKK
P.S. By the way, I can remember back in the 1980's when I was a DOS user,
owned a couple Microsoft compilers, and used to think that they were a
pretty good company--back when you could ask them technical questions and
deal with technical problems without having your credit card in hand!
