We should all realize that the choice of computing system should be based on the task it is needed for. In many cases this is a PC, or a Sun, or Next, or whatever. For my use it is generally a Mac (although I type this on a Sparcstation...). Unfortunately, since the Mac was introduced (I got my 128K in Feb of 1984) the "other guys" have been taking cheap shots. After a while you get tired of it and strike back. Is this snobbery? And on whose part? I chose Mac because I like the machine. It has a good OS, and a great user interface. I enjoy developing software on it. I don't enjoy developing software on a PC. Need I say more? Flames to /dev/null. - Jack Brindle, WA4FIB.
