Now let's see: The Mac is perceived to be underpowered - - TRUE! The Mac looks different from most computers - - TRUE! The Mac has somewhat less software available - - TRUE! MAC owners are obsessvie - - TRUE! Now let's see: The DeLorean is perceived to be underpowered - - TRUE! The DeLorean looks different than most cars - - TRUE! The DeLorean has somewhat fewer parts available - TRUE! DeLorean owners are obsessive - - TRUE! So it seems to me that any DeLorean owner would naturally gravitate to the Mac. Yes, I have IBM clones in my business as well as Mac's. We have had two service calls on the Macs in the past 5 years. We average two service calls a year, each on the IBM clones. Macmania may be hard to understand until you work with both sets of machines. Sort of like DeLoreanmania. Maybe I should get on a rant about my Moots vs Cannondale, Specialized, et al!! NAH!
