I agree with Brian, although I felt Byte's choice for a 68020-based micro
was very poor. A Macintosh spends something like 25% of its time updating
the screen, and you can bet that the Compaq 386 does not. And Brian's argument
that more people are likely to own the enhanced Mac than a Sun or Apollo is
probably true, but I know more people who own/use Sun's/Apollo's than 68020-
enhanced Mac's. Incidently, I own both a Compaq Deskpro (8088) and a Mac SE
and use both equally. I prefer the Mac, but I am realistic about the presence
of PC's in the computer industry.

I totally agree with Brian. Certain people tend to use profanity to get a
point across, but if they actually tried, they probably could find a better
way to say the same thing and not make a fool of themselves in the process!
