She says she doesn't want to have to relearn a new operating system. Thing is, there are many similar interface conventions between the operating systems that it wouldn't be like starting over. Also, when her PC conks out, she doesn't know enough of Windows to REALLY troubleshoot it. > 2) While you can develop almost anything on a Mac for use on the web, there > are countless web sites that don't work right unless you are accessing them > from a Wintel, > Yes; I've experienced that. Is that due to some brand of software with which the site was written, or is that literally a shortcoming in Mac OS that it might not support certain web standards? > and while VPC is way kewl, it isn't always the same thing > Hmmm...
