Uhmm hello OS/2, who the hell uses that piece of junk. If all you people
want to do is rave about what operating system is the best then go ahead,
cuz we all know what the best OS is. Win95 I think not(OS is nuthing but a
pain in the ass). It's the MAC OS. Think it's not then why is it that
everyone is copying the MAC OS. Finally people figured out that a
graphical interface is much easier to use(and funner) then fucking around
with DOS. You say that pentiums are faster then you haven't seen a thing
yet considering that the current OS is fully implemented to run native
PowerPC chips. Think the Intel Chip is any better then why is it that most
Pentium Chips aren't RISC like ALL POWERPC Chips. You say the macs are
slow well that's kinda of obviuos seeing that the PPC 601 chip was
designed to compete against 386 and 486 chips, which I might add blow away
486 chips(in my opinion). Think the PC is hot, then why the hell do many
graphic artists, news publishers, movie people, special effects, etc. use
a MAC. Yall just don't know. If a PC is so hot, then why does it take
forever just to install WIN95, I know it's installing practically new
software, but it doesn't take more than 30 minutes to install new software
in a newly formatted drive. Then there's Plug and Play. Great for the macs
but for PC's it's more like PLUG and PRAY. To use a PC you practically
have to be a freaking computer genius to figure out what the hell is going
on. Man there's just to much to say...  That's all for now, I could just
keep going and going.
