Well put! these Mac-heads get sooooo defensive on this subject - 10%
of the internet population making 90% of the drivel in OS Wars topics.
I say, end the OS Wars cuz those of you with a superior system - you
know who you are! ...and those with Macs... you don't know any better!
The light will shine clear when Apple takes its final financial
nose-dive, and you apple users will take the route of the Amiga User -
forever declaring their systems superior... Hail to the Pentium!
