Actually that's not going to happen because if I get some money it will go
towards buying a new PC or a more up to date motherboard for this aging 586. But
I'd like to get a Mac, partly because I don't beleive Mac people who tell me
that they don't have a Dos-like command area on their computers, I refuse to
beleive it. But it's really not in my plans. I expect to try out Macchess on his
laptop when they visit this fall though.
