Win95 is 99.9% worse with crashes.  Did you know that a few keys will get
you out of a mac crash?  controll+alt then escape will force an application
to terinate.  Command+power will enter a debug mode.  Type G FINDER and
then enter and you'll also go back to the finder.  I do this all the time.

Not with win95.

yes.  Thats a good idea.  12 rows where 10 are deticated to Virus
protection, hard drive fixing, and other programs that are deticated to
fixing and preventing the so called "changing settings".  On a mac you can
throw every single file one by one into the trasn except the "Finder" and
"System".

yeah.  I agree.  There are more PCs in the world because people continue to
use old PCs as doorstops.  I'd much rather have a computer where I know I
can go to for support on any part.  Not Creative Labs if my sound doesn't
work, Microsoft if windows doesn't work, sony if my monitor doesn't work,
[some cheepo chinese company] if my kbd/mouse doesn't work, or things like
that.

The Mac's GUI can be overrided easily.  Apple has written the tightest GUI
there is.  I'm not only talking about the hardware.

Every chip out there is multi-platform.  There just aren't ports of every
single OS to it.

>chip, able to be both a PC

no they werent.  CHRP (Comon Hardware Refrence Platform) has to do with the
ROM.  What you said is that INTEL is/was selling a CISC based mac.  If the
mac roms were mutelated, Mac programs would run fine on an intel processor.

Too bad you can get a mac to run Linux, BSD, or any other flavor just fine.
I've got a Mac based linux server at gussie.alaska.net.  :P
