[Ti] what to say to Windows users:

[Pedro Vera]

My usual rebuttal is a Mac laptop allows me to carry no less than 4 operating systems into one 
device that does not need to be rebooted into different partitions:

1. OS X 10.2.6
2. OS 9.2 thru classic mode
3. freeBSD
4. VPC 6 with XP Pro.

Thanks,

Pedro Vera
