Yes, the same could be said for TI-64 users too!
I hear that there are still those who lament the passing the time-honored art of chiseling out letters on stone tablets as well!
At least it should be comforting that Apple has chosen to run their OS on top of *NIX, and that further development of the OS will be done on the Intel hardware platform. It would seem that if you Apple folks would just adopt Linux, you'd be all set!
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. As a computer user for a number of years, and a computer pro for at least the last twelve, I have to laugh whenever the subject of "my computer OS/application is better than your computer OS/application" comes up. I have seen many great and not-so-great hardware and software solutions come and go. Does anyone remember the KayPro? At about 30lbs, with a 2.5MHz Z80 microprocessor, and 64 KILObytes of RAM, it was the forerunner of the laptop. It was supposed to revolutionize the industry! I used to own one.
I miss Lotus 1-2-3 as a mainstream application.
BTW, before you Apple folks decide to have me drawn and quartered, I also used to own an Apple 2e, with dual floppy drives and a 9,600 baud modem!
Today I support MS Windows, not because it is any better, but rather because as long as there is a PC running a Windows operating system, there will be a need for people who can fix them! I consider it a form of job security. For fun, I play with Debian.
