There is a program called SoftPC that allows you to run programs for the
IBM PC on any Mac with a 68020 or better.

I worked in a department that felt that new IBMs were more important than
people, so they bought the IBMs and layed off 5 people to "pay for them."
6 months later, they were trying to pawn off the IBMs on anyone they could
so that they could get Macs.

Also, 3-5 of the "big eight" accounting firms ditched their PCs for Macs,
since they could get more done more easily on the Mac than they could for
their PCs.

Anyone who has had access to a Mac and used it for any length of time can
see the advantages of the Mac.  If you can get along without yours for a
couple of weeks, put it on your uncle's desk -- just be prepared to convince
him he needs to buy his own when he won't return your machine ;-).
