Then you've done yourself a disservice. Apple has made mistakes. The "Mac XL" was perhaps one of them. BTW, I bought a Lisa - as a platform (the only one then available) on which to do Mac development. When the Mac Plus came out, I sold the Lisa/XL and bought a Mac Plus. I'm now on my 6th or 7th Mac, and my biggest objection to it is that I can't run MacOS and MKLinux simultaneously on the same box. ;-) >SGI has been an excellent alternative for prepress and graphics. But a bit more expensive than Macs, ain't it? I don't want to get in a flamewar over which system is better - IMO that's a personal decision, and if you choose SGI, or some other hardware, or some flavor of Unix/Linux, or some other OS, that's fine with me. You should do what works for you. Mac works for me, that's all. :-) -- Ed Reppert Rochester, NY, USA
