I finally got to read macvsibm.txt and found that the author is proball an apple
stock holder as well as a sales man for special products that cost as much as if
not more than most pcs off the shelf. The single most thought provoking idea he
holds up is the pwoer of the macs processor. This is a motorola chip which is
exclusived to apple  so that it cannot be obtained inexpensively the buss and
data arcatechture are not compatable with the low cost and easier to use pcs and
the exclusivity of product makes it user hostile in the event of failure costing
often 3 to5 times the cost to repair of pcs if Apple is ever challenged for its
unwieldly stucture by the japanese or koreans you will see them fall to the same
fate as ibm which is laying off not because of poor product showing but because
of market forces which have driven prices below profit margins for a company
with as much research and developement as ibm used to have. Apple depends on its
unwieldly repairability and obscure structre to stay clear of the japanese and
european copiers but don't ever try to fix one your self or you will have to pay
dearly both mentally and financially to have the factory refurb it.
