Well, if you have a rich uncle who can afford to buy you a Mac (and pay
the exorbitant maintenance costs when anything goes wrong with the
thing), and are prepared to put up with the limitations on software
availability (Accordance notwithstanding), and also possess an
indefatigable optimism with regard to the continued existence of Apple,
then I guess the Mac isn't so bad!! <G> (Of course, I also speak as an
Australian, for whom anything carrying the little half-chewed apple
symbol costs an extra arm and a leg...)
