In all fairness to Joe, what happens often in the PC vs. Mac "debate"
is something like this:

	And another thing ... Macs can run PC software via SoftWindows,
	but Macs can't do the reverse

	Oh yeah?  With Executor you can do the reverse.

If the person who brings up Executor lists its limitations immediately
it's less likely that someone will respond with "But Executor is a
piece of crap."  I think Joe wanted people to know about Executor's
limitations, which is fine with me -- we certainly don't hide them,
but he wasn't aware of how capable Executor currently is.

I try not to get involved in Mac vs. PC discussions, but I try to
clear things up whenever Executor is inaccurately portrayed, whether
the error is claiming that Executor does too little or the claim that
Executor does too much.  By spending a little time doing this I think
I reach people who otherwise wouldn't be exposed to Executor.  Of
course I'd rather be working on getting Executor 2 out the door, but
we need a little exposre as we toil away so that people will keep
licensing E2-pre-beta so we can pay our bills.

Thanks for your concern.  I'll try not to waste *too* much time
posting on Usenet.

BTW, an Executor Enthusiast thinks he has access to a PowerMac 7500 at
his work.  If so he'll run Speedometer 3.23 on it and get the results
back to me for so I can post them.
