A few years ago, I worked with a guy who had to reboot his Mac 2 or 3 times a day because of crashes, but he still swore up and down that it was far superior to any flavor of Windows. I've been wary of Mac users ever since... :-) I have limited experience with Macs so I'm not in a great position to debate, but can you explain why MacOS is better than Windows NT? What are the major technical differences between the two OSes? I don't care much about which is prettier or easier for a beginner to use - I'm more interested in performance and reliability. I have heard, for example, that MacOS still does not support preemptive multitasking. Is this true? In 5+ years of running Windows NT, I've found it to be an *extremely* stable platform. I run Win98 too - certainly not as stable, but it seems acceptable for a casual user, and it's wonderful for gaming. :-) I'm not trying to start a religous war, I'm just honestly curious. --Peter
