Sorry, Bro. Masoner, I sent my reply before I read this message.  I will
make one more comment before I drop it, however.  I forgot to mention
Mac's cutting edge networking capabilities.  They aren't as fancy and
what Bro. Brown described for the UNIX machines, but features like
AppleTalk, Apple Remote Access, Web Sharing and many file sharing
features built into the Mac OS put it far ahead of what your average
Windows user can do without sinking a ton of additional money into his
machine.

No way...not 70%.  I can't believe that.  You must not have priced them
lately.

Okay, I'll shut up now.
