well, just remember that apple/mac wouldn't be around if Bill Gates hadn't
showed them how to survive at the big "bail out" presentation which he did
on an IBM using M$ Windows . . why? because the apple software and mac
computer they sent him to configure his presentation on (stating that they
thought it would be iin the best interest of the presentation) crashed about
an hour before the meeting and apple people couldn't get it going. however,
bill called on one of his cohorts, who converted the presentation in a
matter of minutes to a Power Point presentation and used his commrad's IBM
ThinkPad. thanks to pc's and M$ apple/mac and stevie boy had a chance to
survive :o)
