But, seeing as the Mac OS was where Windows got it's 'inspirations' from, and I have never had problems using a Mac before (once you get over the first few hurdles - but you had hurdles when you started '95. Just more of them). PCI? No need. USB... thank you! Now I am a Mac addict. Certified. Give it another ten years, and I'll have a vague resemblance of some 'pentiums' and 'windows' and a ...more
