Well, ahem, that was basically my point. The Mac's a great machine, and the
Apple OS is pretty hot, but Apple can't market, so what's the point? And I
know why people program for Windows, I know why they use it, and it's sure
not because it's a great OS. It's because it's the only one that's widely
supported. As an OS, I still think it stinks. Ah well, enough gripping.
Things 'er the way they are, and I sure can't change 'um. Back to the topic
at hand: Assembly on the 85!
