    So if they're so great...

    Why is it that every place where I present Power Point programs that has a Mac system requests that speakers bring their own laptops to hook up to the projector, because no matter how they have them configured, they can't seem to run Power Point programs that were made on PCs on a Mac? I bought a Mac once, but it was too late for me--none of it made sense, and it was especially frustrating that the computer came with one game--Nanosaur--which crashed more than half of the time when I came close to winning. So much for the "more stable operating system" meme.

    Actually, I've never believed either system is superior to the other. But it's like French and English. Whichever one you learned on, the other seems counter-intuitive and confusing. And really, neither is superior to the other.
