I must admit that I was very impressed with the Power Macs I saw
demonstrated at a local technology convention.  Just don't let people say
that they will run windows well.  They may run windows, but if you want
to run windows software, get a windows machine, If you want to run Mac
software get a Mac.  The software sells the machine an not vice versa.  I
happen to like WordPerfect for windows because of its equation editing
capability and Quattro Pro spreadsheet for windows for number
chrunching.  The only real power spreadsheet available for the mac is
Excell and I don't like the way it does graphs, its easy, but not very
flexable.  I don't like excell for windows either.

 That, physsharers is my $0.02 worth.  Thanks for hearing (reading) me out.
