- Here we go, a Mac vs. WIntel war on comp.sys.cbm....

-

-
- See Macintosh Telephone Manager, circa 1994 (with Sys 7Pro).
-
-
- > Built In 3D Code
-
- See QD3d - and how "standard" are the Win95 3d libs at the moment??
-
-
- > DLL Sharing
-
- So?? This is a stupid point to bring up, since there is no equivelant
- thing on the Mac, nor is there any real benefit to be derived from
- having it. It's like saying "MacOS is better 'cos it has an Apple logo".
-
-
- > MILLIONS OF TITLES
-
- Your point being... ?? If this is a strong point, then why isn't the
- '64 on a lot more office desktops??

- Clearly, you have no idea what you are talking about here... If you're
- not being staggeringly ill-informed about the Mac's ability, then you're
- just plain WRONG.
-
-
- Chip, I don't know what's wrong with you. Your posts to this group are
- either lame flames or snippets of incorrect information (well, all the
- ones that catch my eye, anyway). If you want to continue a MacOS vs Win95
- debate, let's do it over e-mail - such a debate does not belong here.

- > brough on board.. The PC shouldn't lose any sleep !
-
- Just think - if Apple goes under, then Microsoft will lose their R&D
- division... ;)
