"Hope to see some good ads for it too, perhaps co-op'ed with Microsoft." How about this? You've seen it before... crowded conference room with a big projection screen with DOS code lines across it.... Voices from "experts" in the crowd shout advice "try the autoexec dot bat!" "No, fix the D-L-L!" "How about the config dot sys!" Then from the back, "GET A MAC!" A slight pause, that unmistakeable Mac startup chime with the smiley mac logo followed by MS Office 98!!!! Powerpoint sizzles with animated graphics and Quicktime movies. Astounding slide transition flash before our eyes. When the presentation is over, it's met with applause and the presenter takes a bow. It's every presenter's dream to have that kind of response to his presentation. I've never seen a slide presentation on a Windows machine go without a snag that costs 3 to 10 minutes. They look for non-existent tech support, "Is there a doctor in the house" but I make it a point not to reveal myself without a contract. ;) I'm usually the guy who shouts from the shadows, "GET A MAC!" I'm a presenter's nightmare. -Bill_H
