This has been happening forever. MACs really are wonderful machines, but have enjoyed an ever shrinking market share since the introduction of Windows, with some minor ups and downs. I never advise friends or family to buy a MAC, simply because of the software limitations they would run into. It's a shame really, but a fact of life. If it's any consolation, Linux users face the same dilemma. Maybe Windows XP and the draconian Microsoft EULA will turn things around, but I doubt it. jon
