Some facts you have chosen to ignore:

1)  The OS of the Mac from '87 is still easier to use & more reliable than
Win95.

2)  The dialogue boxes that pop up in the Mac OS do not look like they
were written by Chinese graduate students,  unlike OS/who?

3)  Mac OS runs fine on 4MB of RAM on practically any Mac-computer while
WinNT needs pretty hefty hardware and beaucoup de memorie.

4)  Nobody who uses a home computer for "home computing" uses OS/w,  NT, 
UNiX,  or BeVaporware.

Thankyou,

Edward
