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 No, but Apple does. Their failure rate is 0.5%. The nearest competitor is 3%. : 2) Win95 hasn't even been around for a year and it already has five : times the software of Mac. Show me an application (except a game) than you can get on a pc that I can't find the equilivalent of for mac. : 3)Win95 is easier to use and more powerful Easier to use? What a joke. More powerful? Sure, I guess a an OS that requires 16 megs of ram to do nothing but sit there should be more powerful. *laugh* : 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. Anything beyond three processes is kind of pointless. There aren't that many programs that you need to run in the background with *any* user interaction anyway. Besides, I run 4 programs at the same time all the time. As for your 7-12 programs, ROFLMASO!!! : 5) Apple will be out of business by 1997. As has been stated before, Apple is the single largest manufacturer of computers in the world. They're not going anywhere for a while. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Andy Milleville | UB School of Engineering | | millevil@eng.buffalo.edu | and/or Dept. of Computer Science | +--------------------------+----------------------------------+
