How confusing sometimes...

This is what ads of the PTT (Dutch TelCo) say:

To get connected to Internet, you need:

       an IBM 486 with blah blah blah

And at the other page it includes several screenshots. Guess from what
computer they are taken? A Mac. New Mac users will start thinking: hey, this
