Ok.  All I have to say is this:
	I have used both Power Macs and Win NT PCs.  The PCs are
undeniably faster and more reliable.  At school I use a Power Mac 9500
180mhz 604e with 64MB RAM.  At home I use a Pentium Pro 200mhz with
64MB RAM.  There is no comparison.  My PC is faster.  I had a Mac
until the end of the summer and had a lot of problems with it.  My
Wintel box is more difficult to upkeep, but I have more control over
it.  I think that one of the main problems with running a PowerMac is
the simple fact that the OS kernel is 16 bit, and doesn't support true
multitasking, or multiprocessing.  Be-os ought to do a serious job for
PowerMacs.  Till then, NT 4.0 is the key to performance.
