(1) The average home user does not want to run 90% of all the software in 
the world. Usually, not even 1%. And don't try to tell me that all the 
GOOD software is PC oriented. As an experienced Mac user, I know better than 
that.

(2) The average home user wants to USE a computer, not UNDERSTAND it. 
When someone tells me that a Mac is not PC compatible, I say, "I know; 
That is why I use a Mac". When one of my Mac user friends complains that 
he is having a bit of of trouble with some program, I tell to just be 
glad he does not have  a PC to put up with.
