Thanks for saying that, Rob. I look around me and see an orange Imac, a StarMax 5500,
a beige G3, and an Ibook. Without a doubt, the most usable and trouble free machine I
have is the Win98 machine I am on right now. (StarMax is second.)
One of the things that bugs me the most about the Mac community is the sense of "we
are better than you." Don't blame the Mac fanatics for lack of maturity or tolerance,
though. Really, the whole idea has been foisted upon them by intense advertising
campaigns from Apple that reinforce the "us vs. them" mind set.
