But maybe a little faster, a little more, etc., PLUS the new things newer machines/technology can do. Unfortunately, I am hard pressed to be able to say what a Mac CAN do! For sure, there doesn't appear to be too much programming going on! I simply have not been convinced that the necessary tools are available, AND that the Mac can in fact do the things that Apples, IBM PCs, CP/M, etc. have been doing so well (and in so many, many different ways) over the past few years. No way I can recode all the possible utilities and applications available RIGHT NOW and owned RIGHT NOW by my users for a Mac -- and even if I could -- what's the Mac gonna be compatible with?
