Computers: Feedback

Laughed] I nearly bought a PC

CONGRATULATIONS on one of the funniest computer pages I have read in a long time (24 June). I laughed out loud with self-recognition at Andrew Brown's tale of customising obsessions and each of the items in Feedback produced a chuckle. But perhaps the funniest thing was the story of Isabel Hilton loading her PC with 17 megabytes of software for Windows and consulting a 900-page manual, when the features that she really valued have been available as standard for a long time on any Apple Macintosh bought from any chain store.
