No, I am not kidding.  I am a Mac oriented consultant in an industry where
the typical solution involves dumping a truck load of PS/2's on the problem.
The best way to get attention is to use your competitors advertising lingo
to support your position.  For example, not only is a Mac Plus, with its 7
standard connectors and 2 built in network adapters, more expandable than
a PS/2 model 70, the Mac Plus never requires a user or technician to waste
valuable company time opening the computer's case.

A Letterman list starts with 10 and counts down to 1.
