There has always been a certain fanaticism among Mac Users. The fact is
that there ARE many Mac programs that look better and run better than
anything of real equivalence on the PC platform. Another fact is that there
is much more to choose from on the PC platform. This last is ofter
overlooked in the interest of preserving the Mystique of the Mac.
How many people do you know on the PC platform that are fully capable of
making real machine comparisons/evaluations? How many on the Mac? I don't
even really like Windows for the same reason that I use the Mac because I
HAVE to, not because I WANT to. I could never understand anyone who would
WISH to wade through several slow graphics screens and run a silly pointing
device all over their desk when all it REALLY takes to run a program is to
type in (no more than) 8 charachters and then press Enter.
The people on this newsgroup ARE NOT going to rush out and buy Macs. That
is the specific purpose of Executor. We are close to NOT HAVING to have an
overpriced Mac around to handle the few things we do that will not run on
any other platform.
