I would point out you have been navigating under a misapprehension. Whilst
the HP e3000 is a better, more stable environment that you pay a lot more
for, Apple and the MacOS do not fit that description. Indeed, Windows NT,
2000 and XP systems are a lot more stable and faster operating systems than
Mac OS. If one brings up OS X, it is my understanding it is a "work in
progress" and lacks many features. In time, I am quite sure it will gain
all the needed features and may even have the stability of NT (2000/XP,) but
that day isn't here yet and 2000 has been shipping since 1999.
The HP e3000 stands in a class all its own; extremely reliable, fast but not
blazingly so and not overloaded with the latest features and devices.

Patrick,
Interesting. I have often thought of the HP e3000 & MPE as the
Apple &
MacOS of the mid-range computers. It's a better, more stable, environment
that you pay a little more for, but non-technical people seem to want "what
appears to be" the cheapest solution, even when it ends up costing them more
in instability, reboots, add-ons, etc.
Go figure,
Jon

CASE SETTLED: JUSTICE TO BREAK UP APPLE
FOR TURNING MICROSOFT INTO MONOPOLY
Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft and the U.S. Justice Department last week
announced a settlement in their landmark anti-trust case that calls for the
break up of Apple Computer, as both sides agreed Apple's history of
"self-inflicted, anti-competitive" management practices is primarily to
blame for turning Microsoft into an illegal monopoly.

Thank goodness this is just humor!
