- clearly you do not know what you are talking about. if you want a
- mac, buy one. if you want to run mac apps under linux, dos, or
- nextstep buy executor.

- i would hardly call a program that lets me run Word 5.x, EndNote Plus
- 2.0.1, KaleidaGraph 3.0, etc a joke. i am a biochemist. i do my data
- analysis on my linux box using KaleidaGraph and i have written two
- abstracts for scientific meetings using Word 5.0a. does this make it
- a joke?
-
- in the future you should refrain from making such ignorant posts; it
- makes you look foolish and wastes my time refuting such straw man
- arguments.
