  As well as the numerous Mac compatable systems such as AMAX/etc for the Amiga
where your Amiga essentially 'becomes' a Mac.

BTW:  I am on the side of 'Apple is a software company' because the only
distinctive thing they have is their sofware.  Hardware wise one could
design a mac in a weekend, but software wise is another story.

  Then again, I can't stand to use a Mac because I find them too un-reliable,
and bomb too often.  It's an 'old dog, new trick' problem for me because
I'm so used to a multi-tasking environment that I can't stop my
'multi-threaded' way of thinking long enough to be able to effectively use
a system like the Mac or Microsoft Windows.
