Alexey,
You academes get so touchy when people trash your beloved Apples......
Fact is MAC's safest bastion was academia, they gave away the Apples.
Problem was in the business world they use PCs. Hence the reason MS won the
war. I have not met one professor or academe that likes MS. All are in
love with MACs and Netscape. They forever chose the underdog...

Wrong. The iMac alone currently has 7% market share.
Must be an "I read the newspaper" sort of thing.
