In both cases a Macintosh is needed for the machine to be a Mactintosh compatible. Outbound merely goes to the trouble of obtaining a Macintosh for their machine so the user doesn't have to. I perhaps should have written "Mactintosh compatible computer that doesn't need a special peice of hardware (firmware) that only Apple makes and that they really don't want to sell without a computer wrapped around it". After I wrote that message I've been told that the Liken Macintosh emulator for Suns is usable, all software, and isn't in imminent danger of being sued/bought out by Apple. I hope this trend continues. -- <-:(= Anthony Stieber anthony@csd4.csd.uwm.edu uwm!uwmcsd4!anthony
