Interesting you'd favor the MAC - I use one - for multiple reasons - g/
Friend that has MAC's in her business - which meant - I had to learn
MAC OS - daughter - 14 that HAD to have  MAC - cos it was cool - I got
the intel version - vmware to run Windows (for my one program that
wont run on MAC) - when we were doing the documentation from the
newest VXRT 3.3 - I made the mistake of telling the lead developer
that he should Ssh into my mac and see if the 3.3 version runs on MAC
OS - I didnt explain about UNIVERSAL / POWERPC / ITNRTEL - mode - I'll
check to see how far he got - if we have anything that remotely
resembles something useable - you are welcome to a copy on MAC OS. Not
warantee - RMS and FMS should work - in a "80x24/25" vt420 type mode.
