Funny...  I didn't see much in Win95 that wasn't already on Mac...

I get physically sick after using an IBM for a while.  Maybe it's a safeguard 
to keep computer freaks away so they don't spend all day at their IBMs?  
But on a Mac - can sit for hours without a problem.  It's just a whole 
easier-on-the-eye-and-stomach style.

But, only in recent times.

The point here is, at least again in the good old days, programs on Mac:
a) took up LESS space by far, compared to their IBM counterparts - 
exactly the same program, but some how needing to be twice as big as the 
Mac version...  
b) IBM programs have 6 million different files to run the one program, 
whereas on a Mac, you have the one "application" program, and if you're 
unlucky, maybe a few extra add ons.  Not a whole subsystem of files with 
directories full of meaninglessly [except of course to the wizz kids] named 
files.

What b.chan was referring to was the Apple guys' sense of Humour.  
Clicking places and having pigs snort at you (ok, so that's dead pan mode, 
but you know what I mean).
