- You both are wrong! I am an avid Mac user but have come to terms with
- all of our futures pc-wise. UNIX will become THE operating system
- for ALL platforms eventually. The Reduced Instruction Set Chip will also
- be powering the heart of most systems. All currently familiar operating
- systems will become shells sitting on top of the UNIX system.
- (For those of us who don't want to convert.)
-
- When RISC processors become available to everyone on every platform, then
- you will see where VR has been taking us.
-
-
- Has it ever occured to anyone out there that VR might the beginning of
- the next evolutionary stage of our planet? Think about it.
-
- VR may be a STEP on a staircase to something even bigger, but it might
- not be better.
