Considering all this "tough talk" from both sides.  All I can say is; "Mac
stole Xerox Star"..  In my view.  So, now that Mac will lose business in the
future because of Windows, tell Mac to remember Xerox!  And tell Mac to
remember reasonable prices!

I can get an PC 20 MHz 386 for around $2000.00 that would do the job.  I can
also expand on this PC hardware wise-to my hearts content.  While a Mac IIcx
would cost me $4000.00 or more.  And if I have to do DTP as a living, add
another $4000.00.  (Saving money is important here).

Everybody knows that IBM is a business machine.  The PC world is going
places because it's doing alot more than Macs.  Mac is now infiltrating
Educational markets to beat PC's in the future.  So the "kids" of today will
remember "Macs" tomorrow.  Macs do a nice job.  There is alot you can say
about a Mac.  But at what price.  PC's have evolved much faster than Macs. 
Unix was around far longer than Mac OS.  Even Ms DOS was around a LONG time.
CP/M is going way back and since then, the struggle has accompished a bunch
of speedy multitasking systems.  Such as OS/2 and Unix.  I've got more
alternatives with the PC and it costs much less!

So, with this view, I hope Mac doesn't beat Microsoft.  The Mac is still
slow in it's Operating System.  You'd have to buy a $6000.00 - $15,000
dollar machine to do the same performance as PC hardware.  I can get a fast
33MHz 386 that will intergrate software and hardware for $4000.00.  And this
will blow the doors off comparable Macs.  With the newest Macs, 
it's different.  They
are fast enough.  But again, at what price.  And how much storage can you
fit in em?  The choice is clear.

I hope that Mac will lose it's pants.
