Why do all the articles from Mac users sound like they were posted
in 1984?  Why can't you guys accept the fact that there are things like
Microsoft Windows and OS/2 Presentation Manager -- a real GUI to which
most applications have been ported or are about to be ported?.  With OS/2
you also get a real operating system, something available only to the
highest-end Macs (A/UX or whatever -- BTW, does A/UX have the Mac interface?).
Anyway, why can't you people see that the PC world has already evolved
beyond plain MSDOS, and is changing rapidly?
