Look Out Macintosh!

[Jason Symes]

Actually, my first use of pcs were apple and their gui sucked worse than
windows, and keep in mind that apple borrowed their gui from xerox. I have
checked for mac addresses in windows, and I don't think its hard at all.
I've never had to monkey with irq's before, so I don't know how easy it is.
I never said gates was the end all or be all, otherwise I wouldn't be on a
linux list trying to figure out how to install linux, now would I? Grin.
I guess the point I'm trying to get across by that post is that everybody
is used to the windows interface and its many quirks, its that social
inertia thing. People these days aren't real willing to try something new,
even if its better, because they'd rather stick with the familiar. But you
do gotta admit that some things associated with windows are a tad more
simple, like the extension conventions windows use. Even someone not used
to windows can pretty much guess .txt are text files, .exe are executables,
.doc are documents, and so on. What's the apple .sid or the linux .rpm? Not
as simple for someone not used to those os's to know what those are, hell I
don't even know what .rpm is for.
