- 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.
