Omigod, the Sequel!!!
---------------------
In this I'm going to settle a couple points. THE OBJECT OF THIS FILE IS NOT TO
TELL PEOPLE TO DUMP THEIR PC'S AND BUY MACS. I have gotten a couple E-Mail
response's, and I am satisfied. I was going to leave it where it was at, but
I saw the file PCVSMAC.TXT in the file section and HAD to reply.
I never said ( or meant to say ) that Windows & OS/2 are worthless. They may be
inferior in a VARIETY of ways, but FAR from worthless!!! They are a major part
of the backbone than folds up the PC!!!
Secondly, Apple took the MENU's from XEROX'x STAR computer. They took nothing
more. They designed a new approach to computing. Then the people at MicroSlop
decided that: "Hey! Lets rip off Apple's GUI! We can make lotz of cash, and
support the PC user's!". Take away MicroSlop and the PC is SEVERLY weakened.
Anyone that is going to argue with me about speed and preformance BETTER have
used a top of the line Apple Computer & A top of the line PC before yelling at
me. I can take Chris Gielow seriously because he obviously has, or at least
he sez. Sounds like he isn't too comfy with the Mac, and not entirely know-
ledgable of it from his comments.
Apple didn't FORCE anyone to upgrade to System 7. I know plenty of people that
use new macs ( and old ) that continue to use the previous system. 97.5 % of
the new applications can run under the old system as well as the new. Same
goes for practically ANY other OS on ANY other computer.
Plus, until last month, UPGRADES WERE FREE. The MicroSlop was the one that
ALWAYS had cost money. Proof of that is the Apple copyright software on Exec-
PC. Absolutely FREE. hahha. Then came the cutbacks. So NOW they have to charge.
Chris Gielow said the best multimedia you ever saw was by Big Blue? Get out
more Chris. Look for one of the computer animation/rendering videos. Most of
that stuff is Mac. T2 was partly done on a Mac, as many things are. Have you
sen Apple's multimedia/computer animation commercial? If you haven't look for
it.
I read the article about the 250MHz 386. Not bad at all. Motorola won't be far
behind. Right now, they're ahead. As for an Intel being more advanced?
hahahah, what a joke. So PC's are cheap, and can be sold in mass quantities.
I guess they believe quantity is better than quality. As for Motorola not
advertizing? Just you watch. They are starting to now, as they want to point
out why the Intel is inferior. They are ahead, and are gonna take advantage of
it, as they will in the future, because they will constantly BE AHEAD. I guess
you've been studing Intel pretty well, but have dismissed Motorola. If you
studied Motorola you would have realized why they have always BEEN ahead.
As for Apple holding copy-right, they do, tightly. Who cares? There are MANY
choices in what you want your setup to contain. As for networking 'out of the
box', Apple is. What it 'passes off' as networking is configurable & pretty
good for built in, unlike PC's. Who sez you cannot buy something external if
you wish???
As for QuickTime being 'Ack!'? What does a PC have to offer? An 8-bit .FLI with
no sound in it? ( Stored in a seperate file, of course ).
Mac user's dreaming of quality games, CAD, and virtual reality software?
This agai points out your lack of knowledge in the area. Mac software in those
fields can match and usually excels the PC ( and 'third-party' computers ).
I don't easly dismiss those computers. But Amiga's are extrememly virus prone
and ripped Apple off down to the Trash can. A MAc can outpreform an Amiga
mostly due to the software aspects. The Amiga is a good computer, far ahead
of the PC in the Multi-media field, but behind the Mac mostly because of
software ( and developers ).
As for Dell, Gateway and others being better? Don't think so. Same product,
different box. Anyway, Apple outsold them last year, along with IBM.
I'll write more if I find necessary. I don't want E-Mail, or more files.
This subject is going nowhere, but I hope it has proved some insight. If anyone
out there wants to be backward, let them. Just don't mail me and tell me about
it. I'm not being backward, I accept PC's for what there worth. This should
prove to be the end of the series. If you are going to distribute PCVSMAC.TXT
and/or MACVSIBM.TXT, include this file, unmodified.
PS- Thanks for warning us about 'bad grammar' because of a D/L in the back-
ground, Chris. Just goes to show how worthless a PC is for multi-tasking. I
wrote this file with a large D/L in the background, and didn't even have to
pause for the computer to catch up. Just typed like normal. Open up a little.
