I've used Macs, and I must admit, they have some great technical
merits in their favor. My programmer buddies swear by them.
However, I don't punch code; I play games. (Big surprise, neh? A
guy into SR also likes to kill stuff in Quake. What a stretch. <smirk>)
And Mac just doesn't have the cool stuff like DOS/Win machines. Granted,
there are a few gems like Spaceward Ho!, but for every one of those, there
are 3-4 equally cool games for DOS/Win. I gotta go with the numbers. So
while a Mac is really great at some niches, it is not the dominant machine
in all niches. So, thanks for the suggestion, but no thanks.
