my new 7500 has had its problems. but they were easy to remedy and the
performance is more than i could have hoped for. all the technical debate
over Wintel vs. Mac is moot. the fact is that a relatively small # of mac
users
produce much more stunning work in less time than pc users. most pc users
don't even dream of doing the things that you can create on a mac. the
DOS/Windows geeks who bitch about apple users not knowing what's "going on
inside" their machines are missing the point. you can crawl inside a mac
too(as i do) if you want to. but you don't HAVE to! 

the info age is just really becoming relevant to the average person and
it's very easy for a monopoly like microsoft to cram a mediocre product
down the throats of a newbie public. but as the educated use of info tech.
becomes more commonplace, it won't be so easy to snow people who really
need a SATISFYING and PRODUCTIVE experience with their machines. i had
barely touched a mac until 8 months ago because i thought i was too
technically inclined for such a toy. but now i can't take my hands off of
it. however, if apple continues to blunder and someone else picks up the
ball, i wouldn't hesitate to switch. but i don't see that happening; and i
certainly don't see Wintel doing anything but becoming bloated by its
success at marketing its clunky products.
