I will gladly conceed that for the non-technical user who intends to
remain non-technical, who only wants a computer to perform some
particular task that is fully addressed by an application program
written for the Mac, and has plenty of money to spend, then the Mac is
definitely the machine of choice.

(Note to dedicated MacHackers who are even now loading their
flamethrowers with napalm:  I am not saying that this is the *only*
market for Macs.)
