      I remember those days but I didn't have a Apple with a 
Motorola CPU, I had an Amiga and the Amiga was leaps ahead of 
PCs then. We didn't have the limitations that PCs did with the 
memory and we had better graphics. Then Commodore sat on it's 
lead in technology and the PC passed them by very quickly. So 
Commodore and the Amiga became history. I saw that same thing 
happening to Apple but Apple had the good sense to switch and 
start making PCs rather than compete with them. Now it seems 
Apple's OS X is becoming stagnant and Microsoft is far ahead 
with Windows 7.
