| 202326 | 2003-12-23 20:19:00 | Favourite? Dos 6.0 or NT 3.51 Use most? XP Pro First? Mac System 4 Best? The devil you know will never be as good as the devil you don't. robo. |

| 202327 | 2003-12-23 20:39:00 | My first Computer was a 2nd hand Apple Mac Classic, with a black/white 10" screen, :D Now have XP Home so I could finish my computer qualifications but use Style XP to emulate a Mac interface ;) This Gran is longing for the day she can afford a New Mac. |

| 202328 | 2003-12-24 02:56:00 | i know a family. they have a green imac. and i find the os8.6 interface frustrating. for one, i cant multi-task. whenever i minimizean app, where did it go? and it doesnt have the-best-thing-since-sliced-bread dock that mac heads rave on about. also, where are all the icons? at least in windows every app is in the start menu. | Megaman (344) | ||

"Windows customers begrudgingly tolerate their computers" i love my windows xp computer. the average extremist maccer thinks all windows users would love to take to our pc with the hammer. this is the case for most of the windows ME users i know ;), but if we loved macs so much, we would rush to the nearest mac center at 200kph and demand the latest ibook |

| 202330 | 2003-12-24 03:09:00 | also it states, If you share the computer with your spouse and kids, and give each individual log-on accounts and settings, the new Fast User Switching feature will come in handy. Microsoft actually introduced this idea in Windows XP; Apple simply does it better. how could it possibly do it better? just using 2 or more accounts and switching them. also does mac have hibernate? can a mac hibernate with 3 accounts running like my windows xp home edition does happily? |

| 202332 | 2003-12-24 03:16:00 | Rather irrelevant comment Megaman you are talking about an operating system over 6 years old. There has been OS 9 and several versions of OS 10 since then. . |

| 202333 | 2003-12-24 03:21:00 | Fair comment, if you compare that Mac version to Windows95 | Greg S (201) | ||

| 202335 | 2003-12-24 05:09:00 | That case really needs some similar colored drive covers,or maybe popping the front off them and giving em a paint. But i like your thinking,i have a very similar case,again for the inteded wow factor for customers. |
