        You foreiners should stop whining.  A lot of us real AMERICANS
can only afford Mac+s too!  As a matter of fact, I personally know
at least 6 people who bought fairly powerful PC clones for what they
would have paid for a stripper plus, even though they wanted a Mac.  They
just couldn't justify the hardware recieved for the bucks rendered on
the Mac side.
        As PC hardware gets powerful enough to run windowing enviornments,
It's getting even harder for the uninitiated to buy a Mac instead of a
clone.  Sure, I know that not all (actually damn few) PC programs take
advantage of windows and mice, and that almost NONE of them work the 
same, but a lot of the great uncomputered and PC people don't even know
what they're missing.  They think PC + Windows + mouse = Mac, at a LOWER
PRICE!
