1) PC = personal computer if a mac is not a PC then it must be impersonal ????? PC refers to hardware, not software. Now that "PC's" and Mac's use the same arch, using PC to signify software is even more wrong than before. 2) If you want to brag about how many OS you can have in one. You can load Linux onto any hardware, not just Motorola and Intel. And you can run numerous emulators allowing you to have Linux, MacOS classic, MacOS X, Windoze, DOS, QNX, BSD, etc...... on the same computer. After all OS X is GNU/LINUX/BSD with a paint job, so Apple agrees. Even Microsoft uses opensource software. Hotmail is served on qmail servers. Now dont get me wrong. I am not promoting windoze, Linux, or MacOS over the other. I simply want to interject some balancing counterpoints. This is an interesting thread. -- I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. -- Dwight D.
