*Bzzzzt*, wrong, try again!  The mac disk set-up slows the Macs down
considerably.  Any time you use the hard drive, the computer has to wait
for the hard drive to give it information.  The PC disk set-up is MUCH
faster than the mac set-up, resulting in PCs beating macs in speed for
day-to-day use.  Also, macs are years begind OS/2 in multi-tasking and
protected memory.  Copeland will be a step closer to the power of OS/2,
but will not be out for years.  A PC with OS/2 is cheaper, faster, and
has a better operating system than a mac.  It is also harder to find
software for as well, but with the merger of IBM and Lotus, this may
change.
 
All claims of mac superiority die when faced with OS/2 or LINUX.  If you
want to beat up on the windows OS's, more power to ya!
