Probably they would - too bad! I think 18 years, not 22. They both first came out in 1984, which is when I started using them (both). In 1984 I used PCs to run Hong Kong's first fully computerised magazine production set-up. Then we got a Mac to test, and that was that. I still use PCs sometimes, when I have to, but I grumble a lot, takes me twice as long. My partner Midori uses PCs quite a lot, just as expert on both, but she sneers at PCs. We both concentrate on information processing, which covers quite a wide range, but no programming. To each his own, eh? My main complaint is that people who use Windoze don't seem to learn much. Not even how to copy and paste, sometimes. You see all those urls people *type*, and get them wrong?? LOL! You can't help learning with a Mac, you're hardly aware it's happening. It's a pity, for instance, that so many people don't know how to handle the information on an email list very well. Like this one - average 25 messages a day, not very high volume, but people leave because they're getting "swamped". Others complain about bandwidth, but I suspect that's often because their in-box gets clogged. Others want to be topic cops and complain about all the "other" stuff - same problem, I think. Others yet advise them to use the Delete key - but why? You keep no record that way, build up no resources. Then they come back later saying they've "lost" this email address or that url from a previous message. That's not how to use computers. These are also the ones who don't see the disadvantages of web boards. Wanna bet which platform they use?
