I was wondering when you would be bringing up Apple's plug and play. I have it on good authority that Apple's plug and play doesn't work any better than Microsoft's. I don't mean 10 or 12 years ago either. I mean as recently as two years ago. Things didn't work as they were supposed to. Bugs. Patches. Glitches. This admission was from someone who has written applications for the Mac for use in the field of nuclear fusion research. I mean the real research, down at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories in Livermore CA, which gets its funding from the US Dept of Energy. This person procures and uses both Macs and Wintel machines, Unix, NT, etc. He's mostly a MacIntosh fan. I'm not anti-Mac. There's nothing in it for me to be anti-Mac. But in re It means you have a slightly more expensive product, but it also means you have a more valuable product. You might want to read last Fall's annual printer roundup in PC Magazine. The color inkjet section. The Mac's print quality was the worst of the whole bunch.
