Things anyone offering commentary on Mac vs. Windows should remember.

  1. Mac vs. PC is a religion, particularly on the Mac side.

Also, lest anyone peg me as a Wintel plant - I used a Lisa before there was such a thing as a Mac, in 1983. Lisa was a $10-12K version of what Mac would eventually become.

Mac was essentially a useless toy until they figured out VM with OS9 or so. I got so tired of having to allocate memory between programs by myself. Mac had a pretty GUI before Wintel did, but Microsoft was better able to handle huge files and data sets. Now it’s just whatever religion you were born into.
