texte = Mr. Davis,I don't remember referring to anyone as being dumb, nor do i think I sounded shrill, nor did i say anything at all about Macs being superior.Deep Blue was, is built entirely of PPC chips - need i say more ?With regard to how Magazines are put together - I'd say your a being bit defensive, aren't you ? Fact is I have always found it a bit suspicious that ads are statigically placed next to reviews, I would think any thinking being would as well. Or are you going to tell me that a wall exists between the ad sales department and the editorial department - one so tall that the accounting department can't climb over it? I think most people would agree with me.Since i daily use both platforms I see the weaknesses in both platforms, I also see the weaknesses in most publications. Byte did not review Webstar either recently. Rather than succumb to group think mentality I'd rather listen to the users of a product and weight it's merits based on real usage, not a lab simulation.This mail list then, as well as others, is a better review of a product than most magazine reviews would have time or space to devote.Robert Brandtjen---- The box said ' requires Windows95 or better', so I bought a Mac.
