Being a PC user myself, I'd say good riddens to the PC network! The Macintosh is so simple to setup, and very compatable with most PC software. The Memory Management on my IIsi kills my old slow Pentium 75. I'd personally like to see iMac offices.......hopefully I can afford one some day .... or any PowerPC for that matter .... but I will have to keep my PC around for my 2 PC-only PDAs <sigh> Pitty only my Newton is cross-platform.
