I think so. Come on. There are people who need a Caddilac. And there are people who need a Macintosh. I would dearly love to be able to recommend anything else for computerphobes, but there's nothing on the market that's as easy to use. On the other hand, the software is hideously ugly internally, and if you want a computer rather than an appliance getting a Mac is a bad move. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180.
