- Uh, oh. It looks like Mr. Wright has spawned. Anyone who has to HATE
- working on a computer should consider a new line of work. Just my $.02

- Seriously, If you read our posts, most of us PC advocates are only trying
- to clear up what we see as misconceptions in the Mac community. Really,
- folks, I LIKE the Mac. I USE the Mac. I LIKE USING the Mac. That is not
- the issue. As I see it, PC's have a whole array of advantages, most
- notably cost, that are often all too easily ignored by Mac users for what
- are essentially aesthetic, and not practical reasons.
-
- And lighten up, folks. If you don't want to read us, put us in your kill
- file. Don't get yourselves all upset over a computer system.
