The Rising Tide of Macs - I found it intersting that Dan Bricklin recently purchased a Mac. Bricklin is the inventor of the first computer spreadsheet Visicalc, Dan Bricklin's Demo Program, and a devoted PC person. He said that he once owned a Mac, the old SE. My computer history is similar, having once owned a Mac Plus. When I purchased my latest machine, the Dell 4600c, I was tempted to switch platforms, but there is one program that I use often, ArcView, that doesn't not run on Macs. I've been happy with the Dell, but think the Mac is now a very powerful, unix-based alternative to Windows. Long live the Mac.
