What I like about the Mac over Win3:

1) fonts are much cleaner. But MS will fix this in Win3.

2) you can get full page displays for Mac cheap! maybe around $600.
I don't think you can do this on PCs.

3) long filenames. Fixed in OS/2, will migrate to Windows someday?

4) uw. Can't get this on the PC.

5) Neat sound effects associated with various actions.

What I like about Win3 over the Mac

1) I hate the trashcan. Too much mouse movement.

2) Much cheaper.

3) There is almost no sw that is not (eventually) ported to
the PC. Many programs run only on PCs.

4) Formatting 720K floppies (but it's ok under windows).

5) Color is much cheaper if you want that kind of thing.
But real color is not.

6) The Classic screen is SO SMALL!

(I've been using Windows for about a year, the Mac for
about a week....)
