Those of us who bought Beta wouldn't touch a Mac with a ten foot pole.

Sorry... but this Mac user still has two Beta VCRs and several hundred Beta pre-recorded movies (I bought out a couple of rental stores when they dropped their Beta movie rentals).

Excellence is still excellence.

I've heard it said that Beta was technically superior to VHS...but the marketplace spoke.The result was that during its "useful" lifespan,the number of movie titles released on Beta was a minuscule fraction of what was released on VHS.

IMO,today's "universality" of Windows PC's trumps any technical superiority that Mac might have.
