eric asks Why should I buy Steve Jobs's Mac-on-steroids closed-architecture box when I can get cheaper, faster commodity iron with better standards conformance based on the 386? the software on the next, as well as the general user interface, makes everything i've seen on a 386 (or any other overrated intel processor) about as attractive as post-tertiary syphyllis. it may be slow without a hard disk, but what i've seen is slick and easy to use and so much more usable than other people's stuff. still, this is just one primate's opinion.
