I'm not exactly sure what this last post intends to say - however, the 
fact that a workplace has only one Mac whilst everyone else ("hole (sic) 
place") uses dos/Win machines is by no means indicative of quality. The 
ONLY reason 75%< of businesses use the wanna-be Mac platform is that it 
has traditionally been 25-45% cheaper than the real thing. But - ask any 
employee in ANY of those companies who has EVER used a Mac which they 
prefer and uncountable surveys (and not Microsoft-type, read leveraged 
surveys) show Mac the true user-friendly platform. I have used both 
boxes and although there may always be a Microsoft it is ONLY because 
Bill Gates exploited (quite intelligently) both the installed dos base 
and the Mac platform.
