What's a mac? What is Wondows95/98? This some new stuff to fight current Linux World Domination? Beneath the deadpan self-mockery is dead seriousness--and beneath the dead seriousness, more deadpan self-mockery. And on and on, in a spiraling regression linuxtoday.com do do do do. do do do do do do do doooooo... Tom Watson tosiwmee

Actually a MAC is the solution for most people who want some kind of "ease of use" in computing. Actually a windows interface is not so easy to use all the time. Where it breaks down is where the barriers to going beyond easy start to show. When you need flexibility in program operation, scalability, scripting, piping, longer files, real computing, connectivity, etc.. that is where the canned approach no longer works. If you have to get under the hood, the MAC is daunting. You are stuck in shrink wrap land and there is noooo way out! Really comnpooterz are a nerd's toy. A hobby for overgrown boys who like to dream about solving fermat's conjecture in one simple geometric proof. EC<:-}
