>> As for Apple hardware being superior... well, I don't remember >> any that was. Floppy drives were glitchy, about the only thing >> going for it was a color display that the IBM lacked at first I bought my first "IBM clone" in 1982 (I think it was - still got the cheque butt somewhere). I taught myself how to use AutoCAD 2 point something on that old dual floppy machine, then started and built my own business 10 years later using the good old PC. Of course, buying a new one every year in order to run the latest version of the CPU intensive applications I was running. In all that time, I was always in awe of what I saw as superior Apple products. With the introduction of the iMac, I purchased my first Apple, and I was converted. I have since bought 7 Apples for my business, and just replaced my own 3 year old iMac. I had finally seen the light! :-) I now only have one PC in my business, and that is for engineering applications. Everything else is done on my beloved Apples! :-) Regards, Sean -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
