Do you think that 100% of macs have 1 button mice?  :)  There is a mouse
you could buy in 1989 for the AppleII or Macintosh that had 2, 3 or 6
buttons.  :)

Yeah, they might.  if a mac were handling the PII 1000MHz beta test it
would shut it down before it subliminated.  ;)

Executor is a POS.  It crashes when you do spreadsheets in ClarisWorks.
You can't run the MacOS, extenstions, or anything.  Virtural PC can run any
PC OS and software (mel, yes, It does emulate that popular 3d chipset).

Too bad Executor won't run iNES.  :)

So, why are you implying that an Amstrad is to a Pent like a Pent is to a
Mac?  That doesn seem right from you.  :\
