- above windows as far as being a jury-rigged hack for high-power computing".
- ________________________________________________
- The Mac OS is only a step above Windows ..... Scuse me but as far as I'm
- concerned Windows sucks when compared to the Mac. No matter which way you cut
- the cake Windows is a disguise for DOS. Not only is it a disguise it's
- unreliable when compared to a Mac and it's also anti-productive not to mention
- compatability problems. I'm not saying that the Mac doesn't have it's own
- comatability problems ... but when you compare Macintosh with the whole IBM
- and PC market in general (Windows included) those problems become non-existant
- in comparison. What about the Next. I've never seen one myself. I've never
- seen software for the Next. I've never seen a Next dealer, a Next service
- shop, a Next anything. Not that the Next isn't a great machine I'm sure Next
- computers are better than Macintosh in many ways (considering who the designer
- is) but the Next has little support from software developers. Just a thought.
- ..... Oh I don't mean to "flame" anyone. These are just my own personal
- opinions. Joe C
