   The Net is from 1995, so Ebert's context is within those days when   
   Apple was even more cultish than it is now, but before Jobs came back   
   and built it all into a behemoth.   
      
   Macs were considered artsy-fartsy then - very interactive and fluffy.   
   I detested them back then. I am more ecumenical these days and work   
   across several different OS platforms easily, tailoring what I use to   
   the tasks at hand.
