You know, he may be right...
Eventually the PC's (based on x86's) are going to go the way of the
dodo, 
the next generation processors are not going to be compatable with
current software. What do you think NT is for? I haven't heard a whole
lot of nice things about NT (or had a good experience on NT) i believe
there will be a window of opportunity for Apple. I know this is an
Apple II group, but i think we should be interested in the survival of
Apple.
