- Ahhh yes, I remember. It was CRAP. Not only did it crash my
- run time COMAL but it's scripting language had few commands and they
- also made it crash...

- Very standard, every Win 3.X program has compatibility with
- Win 95, when the Mac floppy disks arn't even compatible with each
- other (Mac Plus and Perfoma +++ disks don't mix..)

- No real benifit ? So, you would like to run out of memory ?
- If one program is a full exacutable and uses a 3 Meg. DLL or
- device driver it will be built into the code. NOW, what if you call
- another session of that same application ? 3 Meg down the drain,
- as that other session will use it's own built in code instead of
- calling a shared .DLL (unlike the PC.)... Still a stupid point ?

- If you use a Mac Crapintosh regularly you won't have
- noticed this, BUT the PC has an Emulator that IS a C64 on millions
- of people's desks (Or at least the software is there, up to the PC
- owner.)... When does the Mac get one ?

- I used to use a Mac at the office (Before the new managment
- noticed that they were about DOUBLE the cost of a good PC.), and
- it's S##T ! I have noticed this through about 5 years of having to
- use them from the Mac Plus to the Performa... All crap !

-
- Yes.... A lot of people find my posts to the group VERY
- usefull, looks like we might see another 'Pontus Berg. Is A Tool
- debate flairing ?'..
-
- I would quite agree that a Mac/PC debate has less place in
- this group than Elephant Cleaning, but I seem to remember only
- posting a short detail...
