- You've probably seen my sig at the bottom of a lot of posts to this
- subject. Let me clear something up. I *do* own a Mac (IIci) and I
- do know about them. But I also *own* a PC and a UNIX box. I read this
- thread for a while just shaking my head, but finally the blatent falsehoods
- being spewed out from people about PCs got to me. I try to clear the air
- but sometimes I go off, why? Because I like to see people informed, not
- told to avoid something because someone who doesn't know jack says to.
- Sorry if I flame sometimes, I usually try to just inform, but I am human.
