- I would have to agree that if a person is interested in
- a strong GUI, they should take serious consideration toward
- the company that practically invented GUI and uses it as its

- Well, that may be overstating the fact a bit. I remember the
- August issue of PC Magazine as definately putting the Powerbook
- in a class by itself, but its main downfalls are price for
- what is offered and CPU performance, which they feel falls
- behind many of the Intel-based PC's.
