Excuse me??? Am I reading your follow-up right??? I believe the
original poster was merely saying that MacOS has been/still is far
superior to other OSes available for Intel processors. Given the
better affordability of PC hardware, I believe that Apple may have
really blown it by NOT doing this a long time ago.
I just wrote that, and I've only used a Mac once in my entire life.
