Being one of those types, looking down the muzzle of a MS-DOS world, I was amused by that statement. Being the resident outspoken Macintosh person around here, I take quite a bit of grief about the little beige toaster in my office (hopefully soon becoming a grey behemoth of a Mac II, "so I can run MS-DOS.
