Re [Ti] competing with other non-mac laptops

[Daniel L Kegan, Kegan & Kegan, Ltd.]

Generally, a user's software costs more than the hardware;
data input and maintenance costs more than software;
user training, learning, error, frustration, reinstallation etc time
costs more than even the data;
constant frustration is generally unhealthy.

There is a poem, by Les Barker, "Reinstalling Windows," painfully true for many WinTel users--

Reinstalling Windows (a few stanzas from)
Author: Les Barker 
http://www.compulink.co.uk/~ackroyd/

I bought a new computer,
It cost two thousand pound;
But every time I switch it on
I keeps on falling down.

I used to think it was my friend
Now it drives me round the bend;
You'd be surprised the time
I spend Reinstalling Windows.

I switch it on; what is this?
Something wrong with config.sys;
This isn't my idea of bliss,
Reinstalling Windows.

Load disk four, oh what fun!
It says it helps you get things done;
Every day now everyone's
Reinstalling Windows.


Apple website has some information on Mac easier, better, more productive than Windows.
The www.maclaw.org site has a whole section on "Macs v PCs".
My own MacGuide site, www.macguide.com, has a series of articles on the benefits of Macs.
