This is for a MAC, I use a real computer...is there somewhere I can get one for a PC?

Hmm, that's strange,... I always thought that Macs were, "real computers." I don't know what this, "windows," thing is called,...

A Mac is nothing more than a Gameboy on steroids. And before you think I'm pro-Microsoft, let me just say that Windows sucks the most total, all-encompassing amount of ass than any other program I have ever seen.

Ahh, I'm not a Mac user, but I will comment that they actually are useful with video and graphics stuff. I will agree that Windows sucks, but I have yet to see Netscape for DOS. :)

I have seen Netscape for Linux however, therefore meaning that you do *NOT* have to have a Microsoft product to run a computer.

Linux = Plug 'n' kick ass

Just remember, folks, had he not stolen Macintosh's ideas, the Antichrist...uh...Mr. Gates..would not have been up to even DREAM of "Windows".

I think Xerox chose not to persue the GUI, I don't really think you can say Steve Jobbs "stole" anything. It's like when Bauer had this idea to make a new roller skate, with the wheels in single file rather than at the corners, to make it handle more like an ice skate. They didn't think it would fly, but another little company thought it would, and this little company became Rollerblade.

And just to add to my previous post... Xerox's GUI was in development, it was a long time ago, there were _considerable_ improvements made before it was adopted for the mac... Windows, on the other hand, has lagged a few years behind Mac since the beginning. MuSoft is not known for originality, they are known for marketing. I think it's unfortunate that things went the way they did, from what I know of processors, the 68000 series is a more sensible architecture, more conducive to multitasking, than the 80x86 series. Of course, I don't know nearly as much about more modern Intel chips as I do about Motorola, so I could be wrong.

As a matter of fact: Yes. Yes I do.
