- A view observations:
- The mac mouse appears not to be accelerated. The mouse pointer
- didnt move as nicely as microsoft mice. (Not to mention the mouse has
- only one button.
- The mac appears to lack a built in help system. I was using
- mathematica and there wasnt any builtin help.
- If the mac is suppose to be truly a multitasking system, then why do
- you have to load multifinder on top of the mac os?
- If macs are catching on so much then why has windows os sold more
- copies than all the macs sold?
- Why is it, that macs are only compared to pc's that are base models,
- despite the fact that very inexpensive add-ons exist for the pc.
- If the mac was so successful, then why was apple so eager to be
- friends with ibm.
- Why hasnt motorola keep up to pace with intel with product design?
- If the mac was so successful, why are so many mac software companies
- porting over their apps to windows?
- If macs are designed so well, why are they now using pc-like
- keyboards?
- If macs are so easy to use, then why is it that in our computers
- labs that macs are generally unused. (This is very true.)

-
- very confused about the big deal about macs,
- -CB
-
- Apparently, the only decent macs are big macs and whoppers are better
- anywaz.
