One thing that used to come up regularly was modems.
Ha! I remember PC users pulling machines to bits and muttering about ICQ's trying to get modems to work. Then they'd say my Mac was too hard to use. I got a Global Village modem and plugged it in. Done.
Mind you, to buy it I went to a Mac dealer, where I was shown into a room and a 'consultant' came in to 'discuss my computing needs'. Then I emptied my bank account, gave him the shirt off my back (refused to take my soul), and got a modem.
Ah - yes. Setting up PPP and UUCP on the mac ... good times. The documentation for UUCP said 'If you have done this on a Unix machine, you should have no problem'. That was it.
