I had trouble joining alt.religion.computers, so I will burn over here. First of all Lynx inhales air royally, and the help utility is as helpful as tits on a bull.

Now for my opinion on the Mac that Craig wanted me to post.

When I was a kid my parents were not millionaires, and thanx to N.U. they will never be. But my parents were able to buy me the piece of equipment that preceeded the Mac and probably was the same item that encouraged Steve Jobs to create the Mac. Yes I am talking about the "Etch-A-Scetch".

It's a lot like the Mac:

• It's quite portable
• The screens are both small and hard to see
• Both are for ages 3 and up
• There are people who can not operate either of these two products.

The main differences are

• It's a little more socially acceptable for college students to use a Mac rather than an Etch-A-Scetch, though the results from doing both are just about the same.
• The Mac has a spell checker - this is what makes it an "adult" item.
• An immage writer can be attatched to the Mac, thus cutting down on the time required to get your creation from the drawing board to the refigerator door.
• You have to plug a Mac in - this makes it high tech.
