YOU GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!!! What an idiot... You can say Macs
are better..but you didn't give one thing to support that..
1) An OS has nothing to do with quality made comps
2) Win95 hasn't even been around for a year and it already has five
times the software of Mac.
3)Win95 is easier to use and more powerful
4) Multitasking has a big part in an OS... try to run 4 programs at
once on a MAc and see it travel at a snail's speed.. Win 95 can handle
7-12 programs at one time without any loss of speed.
5) Apple will be out of business by 1997.
