Oh CHRIS!!

Yes, how very true!! But isn't that what I've been saying all along?? 
It's not about the CPU... For the Mac to be the thorough-bred that it 
SHOULD be there has to be decent software for it...and for THAT to 
happen, there HAS to be a decent market share!!

I hope that with the move to Intel this will change. And, if anyone's 
listening at Apple - I say PORT the **basic** Mac OS on to the PC.
Yes, this way anyone can try it, and if they like it (and they WILL) - 
their NEXT computer will be a Mac, because it will run the Mac OS even 
better and will have some other bells and whistles.

Best,

Henry
