What the hell do you mean?! The Mac users I know lack the mental capacity
to get PC's to work, so that was probably the problem. Regarding
communications, a tech person at my workplace had to spend well over a
month to get the company's only Macintosh to log on to the Internet. Having
the same OS is not all it takes to interface computers. You need the same
software as well. Apple decided to use their dumb built in propriatery (did
I spell that right?) software because their customers are too stupid to
find one for themselves. The Novell IPX protocol is what just about
everyone uses in the PC world for Local Area Networks. Another thing to
prove that PC's are superior, why are there all these PC emulating things
on the market? The only Mac emulating things I've seen are shareware and
freeware, probably because they wouldn't make enough money in a store.
