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. >mathew -- Opinions expressed in this message are my Own.
