Oh, you mean, titles like, Adobe PhotoShop, Pagemaker, Illustrator,
Persuasion and Premiere? Or, KPT Bryce? Or ClarisWorks and FileMaker Pro?
Or QuarkXPress? All of these recent releases appeared on the Mac FIRST. On
a recent trip to the local CrapUSA store I noticed that virtually every
single MultiMedia or educational title was available on a cross-platform
CD. Probably because most of them were created on Macs, using either
Director or mTropolis. Or, maybe you mean those big games, which appear
first on Windoze and then, in a better, faster, bigger version on the
Macintosh? Or maybe you mean all those lame, worthless, 16 bit Windoze
applications that won't even run under Win95? I'm sorry, but the argument
you've used just doesn't fly anymore. Any software worth using is
available for both platforms. Do a little shopping, and you'll be
surprised.
