MB,

<But I hope somebody steps up and challenges them and gets technology moving forward again.>

Someone is trying and it's called the PowerPC. As a Mac user for the past 15 years, and an Apple employee for the last three, it is frustrating to see people complain about Microsoft, Intel, Gateway, Packard-Bell, etc. but not be willing to buy a Mac to try to remedy the problem. With the investment people have in PC software and its use, it's a hard sell to get them to switch to a different platform. As long as Microsoft and Intel products are "good enough", why put in the effort to be better? I know you know all of this, but it definitely is a tough job to get someone away from the Dark Side once they're in. -g- As a contrarian, you should be prime Mac material! And no, I don't own a Beta VCR (although I've thought about it). -g-
