Re: Mac is the AS/400 of Desktop Computing per Dvorak

I'm sure it will, as my old 386 PC already does.
The reference to CPW was not intended to confuse
only to demonstrate that the $200+++ price the
original poster mentioned was mainly interactive tax.
If we remove interactive from the equation, we have
to compare $11K for a base OS/400 270 system with
no other software and a $7K Mac fully loaded.
