There's a really simple explanation for it, it's all my fault.  I've got a
IIgs, an NCR Tower minicomputer, and a NeXT all sitting in my room (I see a
trend here).  When Apple REALLY pisses me off, I'll go buy a Macintosh, and
that will be the end of them.  As far as the machine of the future goes
(Pentium, Power PC, Alpha, whatever), it will be whichever one I DON'T buy...
