No, you are doomed. First is the presumption that Windows is necessary because this or that program or way of being is not supported on Macintosh. Then, there is the pervasive entry of the "other programs", programs formerly run on Apple but now conveniently run on Windows. Then there is the torment, then drug-like High of overcoming Windows Problems. Next, the excitement.....the challenge of actually doing something in Windows. It is around this phase that Apple users tend to forget to turn their machines on. The ease of use is a thing of the past. Rather for them, the heroin-like drug of Windows takes over. They think the challenge of Windows is surmountable. They have forgotten, they have forgotten that they are able on Macintosh to perform the tasks that Windows challenges them with on DOS. The Windows converts worship at the altar of the Microsoft. Soon, the Macintosh Machine is relegated to chores such as making coffee. It is cheapened by it's association with Egon and it's search for Zule. The Mac gets mightily annoyed. It's fan suddenly makes noises........ You can guess the rest.
