Agree, I do.

I don't have very strong opinions about most things.  But this I do know.  My
ideal set up would be:  Have both a Mac & a PC.  Use the Mac for the most 
excellent Word Processing Capabilities.  Use the PC for writing all those 
hundreds of little programs I think up of.  Try and write software which 
better enables the user of a Ibm to import Mac stuff and vice-versa.  

I know that the Mac interface is a lot easier to use.  On the other hand, 
sometimes its so much easier to do stuff in a shell script.  

Each computer has its own strong points.  I would like to own both, but 
pricewise, the Ibm is what I have to settle for, thanx to those good old 
tuition blues. 

Of course, we could always bring in the Amiga, with its IBM/Mac/* emulators
and the excellent games (and apparently some good hardware... I wouldnt know,
the only Amiga experience I have is 3rd hand) 

Now what was I trying to say?  I dunno.
