Lol, I donšt think anyone needs to worry about the mac going belly up... Apple knows their niche and is focusing on it (which is a good thing). The only problem is relevance... Ie, you have a mac at home and can produce on it... If you go apply for a job, and only have mac experience... It could be a problem. Or, if the userbase drops enough that it isn't finacially feasable to port/create applications for it, then you will see some serious serious problems starting in. It sounds silly, but the resources needed to make a serious application that can really compete now are fairly staggering, so whereas before it was a real alternative to make a mac version, if in the future the marketshare and numbers aren't there... That will get scary. Or, if there isn't an MS office suite. :) -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
