	If the only tool you have is a hammer, everthing starts to look like
a nail.  Obviously, the right solution is to have multiple tools for
multiple jobs.  I've got a Sun workstation on my desk, and a Mac-IIcx on the
table next to my desk.  I use one or the other depending on what task I have
to perform.  For word processing, I use troff on the Sun.  For drawing, I
use Dreams on the Mac.  Even PCs have a place in life, and it's not in the
dumpster.  They are all over the place here as dedicated lab equipment
controllers.

	No, my Mac doesn't stink (either the IIcx I have at work or the Plus
I have at home).  It may not be the last word in computers, but it certainly
doesn't stink.
