Now, wait a second.  I use "crap" like that to run my business, and it works 
beautifully.  I *KNOW* powermacs could completely crush my pentium box, if 
that over-hacked ancient System x.x.x wasn't dragging the poor machine through 
the mud.  I'm VERY pleased with win'95/NT4's user interface and performance.  
I'd really like to see what BeOS feels like, because I've heard it's pretty 
powerful.  The powermac is ready to mature now, so if somebody wants to write 
an OS that actually uses the machine to it's potential, then by all means, god 
speed to the macintosh.  Until then, it's GS/OS and 95/NT4 for me.
