That's like IBM saying "The ability to run IBM software is what sets this computer apart from a Mac". I guess you never heard of VP/Ix by SCO, which lets you run multiple IBM applications at the same time under their Unix. At the same time as X. Who else besides Apple runs Mac software anyway?!?! Unless their is some new Mac clone I don't know about, that was able to produce compatible ROMs without Apple filing another rediculous lawsuit, no one else is ABLE to run Mac software at the same time as Unix. Don't compare apples (pun pun pun) with oranges. -- Telxon: | davewt@NCoast.ORG | Programs Plus presents: x4350 | uunet!hal!ncoast!davewt | CoreWar, CRobots, Empire telxon!davidw | uunet!cwjcc!ncoast!davewt | Amiga - The ONLY choice for personal computing
