"Hence armies use them where cost matters not." You harp on costs as if Macs were substantially more expensive than their equivalent PC counterparts. Once again, it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. See: mackido.com. Do you ever bother to do any research? Bob

Jeez, Jackson, get off this dead horse. Z80 machines were an open platform. CPM code was available. But, uh, it got replaced. Hind sight is 20/20, my friend. It is easy to come up with rationalizations for past and present, but such only predicts a status quo, which never, ultimately, is. Try predicting the future.

Bill, PC computer tech's at mid size companies must be Wintel's strongest supporters since those guys are the individuals who benefit from the business world buying machines that break down. Where I work the techs push the PC's all the time because they are so problematic that they represent job security for the computer department. The business administrators have bought them because all they really want are spread sheets & typewriting capabilities. l mason
