Tell that to the guys from Computer World who concluded after some
serious series of tests that a 132/9500 is faster in any given app. than a
150Mghz Gateway PC running Windoze 1895.
Zowie, man. I don't know where you get all those statistics, but if
you'd actually read (you know, like in R-E-A-D) some computer newspapers
you'd see they have a total different oppinion.

Oh yeah. I forgot, it is a pain for you to spell 1800-Appl-SOS on a
phone. How about PC's, eh? The so notorious Windoze 1895 which is supposed
to run without DOS, but has to be configured in it?
Jeesh, PC users started teaching MAC users about friendly
interface/easyness to handle. Damn. This is getting nowhere, folks.

Oh yeah? Why, I'm perfectly content with my Mac, and because of that I
will NOT buy ANY kind of IBM-compatible, for any reason in the world.
Better yet, I won't buy one of them because there is NO reason.

Indeed. Blah, blah, blah. I said it before, I'm going to say it again:
before posting some funky flame on a MAC newsgroup get in touch with your
local library and spend some hours learning some damned sentence syntax
and grammar. And let's not mention spelling; you'd probably have spend
some time with a 2nd grade teacher.

That's i-g-n-o-r-a-n-t, Mr. Wise PC User. Ignorant. Talk about it, but
doesn't know how to spell it. Man!

Ace actually amazed and amorsely articulates an artistic alambique. See?
I can talk so I won't fall asleep, too. Kindda "If I know how to spell I'm
not a PC user..."
Sorry, I'm convinced that there are PC users as intelligent as any Mac
user outhere, but right now, I'm sure I'm not addressing to one of them.

That's tired, and I think your full-day job is being bitchy.

My pleasure, Copland will be out in September 96, from what I know. I
might be wrong here, so any corrections are welcomed. And, oh yeah, it
seems it'll have Windoze 1895 for lunch for speed, interface, system
requirements and number of crashes.

PS: This message was replyed to from csmg.binaries, a Mac newsgroup. I
appologize to everyone who read this post in an unappropiate newsgroup,
but it is my right to respond to that stupid, and so unelegant flame. I
already elimined the c.s.advocacy... newsgroups from the header. Sorry
again.
-- Windoze 95... Hmm. Windoze 1895 comes much more closer.
