I dont understand why you are whining so often about the Mac prices  
and the good old times of great tools. Anf praises the glory of Win  
all the time.

You have to calculate the Hospital costs to. Check real TCO Not only  
the barebone PC;) Because the eye cancer will come fast with the fast  
processor, Windows Media and mediocre PcBoxes, when you have to look  
at it all the day:

> I remember the good old Mac days ,

why only remember?
Check what happens today!

> with products like More
let us have a look at the Outliners, which I know much better than  
developer tools.
Today we have Mori. (I have more than 2000 Textmodule organized  
perfectly in a notebook) How would you do that in a Word Dokument, or  
2000 Dokuments?
Mori (former HBN) is so much better, so much easyier, so much more  
powerfull and so much cheaper than More...

the Win Users told me, nothing comparable on Win to:
Devonthink
Omni Outliner
Cp Notebook
Curio
Mellel
Nisus
etc, etc, etc, etc...
There is a lot I dont like at Apple, and I would like to see a real  
Linux competitor (like Dan Shafer) but there isn´t. (May there is,  
but I did not see it)
