Each religion tries the same approach and Agree, I do. I don't have very strong opinions about most things. But this I do know. My ideal set up would be: Have both a Mac & a PC. Use the Mac for the most excellent Word Processing Capabilities. Use the PC for writing all those hundreds of little programs I think up of. Try and write software which better enables the user of a Ibm to import Mac stuff and vice-versa. I know that the Mac interface is a lot easier to use. On the other hand, sometimes its so much easier to do stuff in a shell script. Each computer has its own strong points. I would like to own both, but pricewise, the Ibm is what I have to settle for, thanx to those good old tuition blues. Of course, we could always bring in the Amiga, with its IBM/Mac/* emulators and the excellent games (and apparently some good hardware... I wouldnt know, the only Amiga experience I have is 3rd hand) Now what was I trying to say? I dunno. Sunjeev "Sunny" Gulati cs442a07@zippy.cs.iastate.edu the perpetually confused motion machine.
