Dear Jerry -
	You have obviously never seen or used the virtual monitor aspect
of the Macintosh family or you would not make the comment that you 
just made.
	Every time that I have shown virtual monitor to IBM folks at 
a trade show, they have been blown away.  The ability to be running
from two to six monitors as a single virtual monitor, is a fantastic aid.
Of course, it is one of those things that if you have never experienced, may
seem not useful and sensible.  But I could never think of giving up my
Macintosh II with an RGB Monitor and a Monochrome Monitor running as a
single virtual screen.  
	I believe that you were talking about the Macintosh users writing 
message that sounded like they were written in 1984.  Perhaps, you need to
catch up with what has happened in the Macintosh world since 1984 and the
base that we have built for expansion into the 1990s.  
	For example, I can purchase a Macintosh Plus with a hard disk for 
around $1,500 out the door from any number of dealers.  That is comparable
to any number of low end PC clones (and I do not, as many people have said
need to buy a keyboard for that system).
