There's an article at CNN Interactive's web site titled, "Apple lovers, unite: The Mac is back." <http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9809/16/macisback.idg/index.html>
Macs have long been known for their ease of use and elegant simplicity. The current operating system, Mac OS8.1, is generally considered more user-friendly than Windows. Even a first-time computer user can be up and running (and comfortable) in less than an hour.
"Oh, stop... I'm blushing!" There's also a poll being conducted at the site -- the question being: "Would you consider buying a Mac for your next computer?"
Of the over 3,000 votes cast so far, nearly 80% said "yes" to either a G3, or one of those pemmican-free iMacs.
Faster than a speeding Pentium, the G3 can be custom-built to your specifications by Apple's own Internet store.
Wow! Considering CNN's historical attitude towards Macintosh (and Apple in general), this comes as a big surprise.

PS. I just noticed that the word "Pentium" was flagged by SI as a possible misspelling, but "pemmican" is in their word database. |
