On the subject of ^^^^^.
I would be unwilling to give up the Mac's super readable B&W screen
for a few bits of color. I have used an IBM (yuck!) PC with their
brand of color monitor and it stinks! The damn thing aint readable!
I also think that it will be a few years before we see a color Mac that
compares to the current one in readability. (No, I haven't seen an ST and
I doubt they did much better.)
A recent issue of PC magazine compared the Mac to an IBM PC, and discovered
that the only thing you would really need the PC for is color. If you didn't
want color (or a hard disk) you would probably prefer the Mac's more readable
screen and more friendly software. (They did note that the PC software is
getting friendlier.)
