Given that there aren't that many cool (software) features in the current Mac that weren't available 15 years ago!!! on the NeXT, I understand and appreciate what I'm missing. What I tell people who know me well, and I'm only 1/2 joking, is that if I buy a Mac tomorrow, in a year, Steve Jobs will declare the Mac a dead platform, and the rest of you will all be screwed ;-) So, for all you Mac lovers out there, I'm avoiding it as a favor to you! :-) Another guy pushing the Mac, shocking ;-)
