You are welcome to your bias, but to suggest that DOS/Windows users
"f***" up their systems while Mac users don't, well, as a dedicated DOS
and Windows users (whose modest system does everything I need and more),
I have helped many, many Mac users who couldn't even disconnect a cable
from their machines, didn't  know that they had an external floppy drive
(when it was sitting right next to their machine) and explained that RAM
chips are not really "energy" chips (as one user put it!).

There's enough ignorance going around that we don't have to bother
dividing it between computing platforms...

"We found that MACs offered no advantages of note while increasing cost of

This is complete nonsense. I seriously doubt you have ever installed
one Macintosh. If you had, you'd have "gotten" the advantage without
running one application. But then you say " I never bother to teach
them about MS-DOS because they never use it directly.  We have little
staff turnover so orienting new staff is only a minor problem." which
really misses the point. THey use exactly the software and hardware
you install forever. In a Mac installation, users continually find new
uses for their computers that the purchasers never thought of. They
are able to do this because of the ease-of-use issue that you skirt so
superficially. You have no idea what additional work these "clearical"
word processing people would have done if they had had a Macintosh,
because they didn't. You have to be able to see beyond what is in
front of your eyes to make computer technology really work for your
organization.

All of this is starting to happen in Windows now (8 years later, N.B.)
so this advantage of the Mac is rapidly disappearing. But it has
definitely been there for the last 8 years.

I like MACS and would have loved to have used them for some years now.
However, I work in a situation where budgets are slender.  The plain fact is
that for years MACs have been far more costly for than ms-dos units and have
offered virtually no functional advantages.  Perhaps this is because my needs
have been simple: equipping a good number of clerical staff with word
processors.  The ease of use issue is essentially irrelevant because staff
use the same machine and software for several years.  After a learning period
they master the skills they need and become highly productive.  I never
bother to teach them about MS-DOS because they never use it directly.  We
have little staff turnover so orienting new staff is only a minor problem.

We found that MACs offered no advantages of note while increasing cost of
equipping staff substantially.  They were simply a poor buy with nothing
built in to help recoup the higher capital outlay.

It's great to see the prices dropping now.  The MAC may finally become a
cost-effective option for some of us.

Well, I read voraciously, and a lot of what I read (by coincidence)  
comes out of the UK.  The ONLY place I've ever seen the loose/lose  
mistake is right here on the net, and given the distributions, most  
have been written in the US (though not necessarily be Americans).

SGI has always been good, never cheap.  Indigo's $7,995 price tag is

And software prices for the machine are absurd -- definitely "workstation

	Speaking as someone who does support for PC and Mac networking,
the Mac is great when everything works.  When things just magically fit
together, which does happen quite often on the Mac, it's easier than with
PCs.  However, the PC is usually not much trouble either, and when the Mac
dooesn't work right, you're in for a long day, because there's no config
files to tinker with.  Behind the scenes details are a two-edged sword.


>I seem to remember the commercials a few years back with Alan Alda
>and Bill Cosby touting the Macintosh as "the computer for the rest
>of us".

	That's exactly the way I look at it, too.  I don't include myself
among "the rest of us."  If other people do, that's fine, but from what I see
when I help people who use both platforms, the Mac does one thing really
well...encourage ignorance.

	Separating most or all of the people on the net who use Macs from the
discussion, people who use Macs at work because they have to are basically
helpless with computers (at least where I am).  Because the machine is
designed to hide anything remotely technical from them, they feel totally
justified in refusing to learn anything about their machine.  I think that's
wrong, and it just makes my job harder.

	PCs may have a steeper learning curve, but at least it motivates the
10% or so of its users who are willing to learn something to do so.

	I'm not saying that computers should be hard to use, particularly
for the general population.  In fact, that's my main beef with Unix.  It's
just unnecessarily complicated for an end user to mess around with.  But I
do think that it's important to encourage the non-computer literate part of
the world to learn something about a device that's so important to them.

Don't forget MicroSquish (from Berke Breathed's Outland).

  "I'll buy you Norway."
  "OK.  But no kissing."

I've seen several OS/2 nicknames in this thread like "Half an Operating System"
or "Half an OS."  These are so close.  Clearly it should be "Half-OS."

On the other hand, PS/2 would be "Pea Stew" which is a bit thicker than
pea soup.  But then again, maybe some of you would prefer "Half-BS."
