The nice thing about the smaller software base for the Mac is that it seems to be cut off at the bottom. Most titles available are actually quality software, while there is a huge sea of crap Windows software.

Your comments remind me of the effusive praise from Pravda back in the 80's over how the smaller selection of consumer goods for Communist citizens translated into higher quality. What the hell. It's all you have. You can't turn piss into wine.

It doesn't equate. Mac users are used to quality software, so the crap stuff dies quickly, while it lives on in the Windows world.

Funny though, I don't remember that from Pravda. Me and my friend used to listen to Radio Moscow on shortwave for laughs, and all I got was that production and harvests were always at an all-time high (at a time we were exporting wheat to the USSR), and that we should all vote for Mondale because he'll save the world (while we had a Reagan portrait on the wall).
