PC users cite statistics and benchmarks, Mac users actually use their
computers.

1. Macintoshes are cheaper (when comparing similar name brand machines)
2. Macintoshes are more powerful
3. Macintoshes are more expandable & versitile (more standard plugs and
network connectors on the back of the box)
4. Apple does not charge for the boot disk
5. Apple Credit Card (what more needs to be said)
6. The Mac does not require you to type "MODE COM1:12,N,8,,P"
7. Apple gives you a totally cool manual that nobody ever reads
8. The PC cannot run Mac, PC, Unix, and Apple II programs all at the same time
9. Multitasking, multitasking, multitasking (no, Windows does not count)
10. Net-Bunny and all of the other really net stupid Mac tricks

If you ever have problems with a PC user again, simply ask that person to
explain "CONFIG.SYS".  That should keep them busy for a few days.  You can
keep novice users busy asking how MCGA is different from CGA or MGA, or ask
how to tell the difference between the 200 different disk formats.  You get
the point....
