   Then why did I switch to the Mac a year and a half ago, before the Switch   
   campaign? Why can I read this group and post articles and replies with my   
   Mac?   
   If Macs are incapable of getting the job done, why can I do the following on   
   my Mac:   
      
   Listen to streaming audio?   
   Watch streaming video?   
   Do disc maintainence with Norton Disc Doctor and Speed Disc?   
   View PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader?   
   Create PDF files with Adobe Acrobat?   
   View graphics with Adobe Photoshop, ACDSEE, or any other Mac compatible   
   graphics viewer?   
   Do my artwork via Adobe Photoshop with my Wacom Graphire/Graphire2 USB   
   tablet?   
   Read and post to newsgroups with IE5 any version of Netscape, or any other   
   browser/news reader?   
   Burn CDs with Roxio Toast Titanium?   
   Listen to MP3 files with MacAmp WimAmpMac, or iTunes?   
   Browse the Net with IE5, Netscpae or any other browser than runs on the Mac   
   Format floppies, Zip/Jaz/Syquest in Mac discs in MS-DOS or ProDOS?   
   Watch TV via my VCR with Apple Video Player?   
   Create video clips and screengrabs with Apple Video Player and Quicktime?   
      
   If Macs are incapable of doing anything, why why are computers not 100%   
   Windoze?   
      
   95% market share does not automaticallymean the best.
