I just have to say that I program for Macintosh too and fo agree that their
marketing strategy sucks, but they have a good computer. I think that
Microsoft won the PC battle long ago, but Mac will forever (I hope :) )
rule in graphics engineering and publishing (almost every movie I've come
across has Macs in it, even Star Wars Special Edition was crafted mostly on
a Mac).
BTW I don't have a PC (non-mac) and would like to get one because I can't
program for Usgrad without the compiler, which is for PC's only. Does
anyone have a software PC emulator for the Mac, such as Softwindows or
Virtual PC? If so, I would like it if you would e-mail me and tell me if it
would run small dos programs such as Tasm or Virtual Game Boy.
Sorry for getting off the subject.
Thanks!
