PC owners can't run the (toy-like) Mac OS, so that is moot. They
won't run 0S/2 because they can't find a respectable number of native

Sure, and if people were rational, we wouldn't have had 8 years of
Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh would be nothing but a fat couch
potato throwing popcorn at the television. It's a senseless (and sour
grapes) argument, IMO.
