You were wrong and have probably not used a Mac extensively. I do not claim, however, to know even 1% about either platform as I do not know how much there is to know. All I know is that I stayed with IBM for as long as it took to save up for a Mac and have fairly good knowledge as I use it everyday for remidial and a few "powerful" tasks, and I know what is faster as well. Alright, let's get basic here: 1) Do you know what a CNTL resource is? A WDEF? MBAR? CODE? 2) What programs might use the data fork and for what? 3) What is the programmer's call to get the next event (talk about a clue)? 4) Why does the Mac have enabler files? 5) What is the folder called that the System is in (At least he'll get 20%)? This is one step lower-level than what I posted earlier. Can you get this, or do I resort to setting up an AppleTalk network? I'm still giving you a chance to show us you've actually used a Macintosh. +--------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | A.
