And I'm not trying to take this argument to such an absurd level where someone can say "What can the Mac do that the Commodor PET can't?"

Now I'll ask my question now from an application perspective.. meaning that obviously you can say the GS doesn't have the resolution the Macs have. -- /Apple II(GS) Forever! unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu MAIL ME FOR INFO ABOUT CHEAP CDs\ \"If cartoons were meant for adults, they'd be on in prime time."-Lisa Simpson/
