That's certainly not what I see around me. My Mac-owning friends have far more trouble than my PC-owning friends (per computer), AND they spent a lot more money for their hardware. There's a lot less software available to them. AND my long-time MAC-owning friends have been subjected to multiple flag-day conversions when they had to re-buy all their software, to boot (Motorola to Power-PC to Intel, various incompatible levels of the OS). And are mostly complaining about the performance (because they can't upgrade their systems much, and can't afford to replace them too often). I used a MAC far before I ever used Windows, and found it terribly hard to use, too. I was trying to prepare some simple overhead projector slides for a presentation, and Mac Paint just made it hideous. (This was, um, quite a while ago. Before Windows was out at all.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
