Get a life. I'd recommend an IBM clone before a Mac. I don't even OWN
an IBM anymore. (Sold it to buy a second Amiga.) Macs are indeed very
easy to use, but the price they ask is simply outrageous. Combine that
with the fact that they are poorly designed and most of them have
trouble with the latest version of the OS, and it adds up to a bad
idea all the way around. Part of the reason these folks BOUGHT an ST
in the first place was because they didn't feel like shelling out the
big bucks you need for a Mac!

Heck, for $3000 you could get an Amiga 3000! I mean, if you're going
to go spending that much money, might as well get something you won't
need to expand right away!
