- Nothing wrong with your reasoning. I bought executor for three basic
- reasons. 1st)Whenever I see a company like ARDI comming out with something so
- "cool" I like to support them. 2)I like to play around with my old MAC games.
- and 3)It gives me some extra compatibilty with my friends who use MAC's.
