Re: get MS to pay YOU $10 for Office!

My point was that transfering over a network is faster than a floppy 
and yet not over kills as a FireWire drive or CDRW would be. I was also 
noting that Apple was forward thinking by doing this from the start, 
but the main point was the first one. It had nothing to do with 
platform dependence.

built-in networking has always been included on a Mac.
It takes even less than walking from office cubicle to office cubicle 
with a floppy.
Ok, let's put it this way, the software that is hardware connected
runs only in Windows and through RS232 coverened by the
hardware in the machine...
Also there are masses of specialist elctronics software that only
exist for Windows/DOS (the subject of my degree...).
If anyone suggests VPC it'll only prove that they haven't actually
tried running specialist hardware connected software in an
emulator...   ;o)

Oh, not to mention the all car and motorbike racing games available
for the PC. The recent releases on the Mac will in no way outweigh
the titles I've got on my AMD Athlon PC (I refuse to buy Intel!!)
