It's obviously a Mac that's running Robocop II (nasty, psychotic, bad guy) and Robocop I (good guy) looks a lot like MS-DOS. I was positively cackling at the slam on Apple. (Not that I like MS-DOS but it is their main competitor) They replaced the Apple menu with a skull. I want to do that to some Macs around here. -- -Colin
