I personally have both. I have a Mac SE, which I plan on getting rid of
and getting a Mac IIci. I also have a 8088 and another 386 20 MHz on order.
I really have seen too many of these conversations that it really annoys
me to see this type of conversation. Different people have different needs
and for certain tasks, particular computers are easier to use. Leonard
Erikson seems not to be very knowledgeable in the Mac world being that what
that quote that he posted ment was that the Mac can handle 2 monitors at
one time in that if you move the mouse off of one monitor it will appear on
the other one.
Each computer has its strong points. ie. The Mac is easier to do
papers and basically presentation material. It is much easier to learn.
The IBM, on the other hand, I find very much easier to program as well as
doing number crunching much more efficiently. It just depends on what
you want and what you are willing to spend on it. Just remember it is not
really how good the computer can be but rather how good the person using the
computer can be. I use both of my computer very much and that is why I am
getting better ones in both senses. Please get familiar with both systems
if you wish to have a debate because it is not until everyone knows what
they are talking about that this can be an intelligent conversation.
