Don't either of these machines have spelling checkers?  Me thinks a
computer hater, or worse yet, a PC user that hasn't yet figured out the
alt-shift-control-fkey-cryptic command that runs the spelling checker.

I bet the papers will be covered with frost because the PC and Mac will not
look like each other until hell freezes over.  Windows and icons do not
make a Macintosh.  A machine running DOS can never hope to be anything
more that a Dosintosh (actually, that name is more than 8 characters, so
I guess it would have to be a DOSINTOS.H).
