I haven't thought of those for years!
I never had used a Mac, so cant help you there
David Levinson used a Mac to save Earth from aliens in 1996 (seems like only yesterday). I also know someone that uses a Mac – I think.
Being not familiar with Mac's, but heard a lot of pro's and con's about them, I was wondering is software that would run on Mac limited ? or can programs that run on IBM Compatible work on a Mac' as well ??
This has been a very interesting exercise Gunny, think we've all learned a bit.
Mac's are still popular with artwork houses who swear by them and look down their noses at the PC fraternity. Whether they are still justified in their attitude, I can't say, but old habits die hard.
For that reason I have to be familiar with Macs at work as well as PC - we get artwork in a huge variety of programmes and formats, in both Mac and PC. All the 'serious' artwork packages (Illustrator/Quark/Photoshop) have Mac versions.
Schools used to be big Mac users here but have swung inexorably over to PC in the last few years, so fewer students would be leaving with Mac skills. From what I've learned, Mac memory handling is inferior to that of the PC, and that seems to be borne out by my experience.
There used to be a song about 'Gabardine Macs' but I've only seen plastic ones.

I know, I most certainly have learned some from these posts. I was wondering about Mac's and how they faired compaired to a IBM type PC, having never had the opportunity to operate one or much less even sit in front one, I was curious as to how the would handle...
Thanks for the info....
