Why not make your IBM work like a Mac?  The Mac does some things faster and
better.  In the same context, why not make your Mac work like an IBM?  The IBM
does some things better and faster.  Neither machine is an end-all to
microcomputing and anyone who thinks so is lying to themselves because they
just paid several thousand dollars for the hottest machine of today - one which
will be obsolete in under two years.  Slamming on the graphical interface is
foolish, equally as foolish as slamming on the batch file capabilities of DOS
machines.  I consult on both machines and recommend whichever one fits the
needs of the client.
