Lots of people are looking at the Dimension because they NEED to do things
the "older machines/technology" were doing!  But maybe a little faster,
a little more, etc., PLUS the new things newer machines/technology can do.
Unfortunately, I am hard pressed to be able to say what a Mac CAN do!
For sure, there doesn't appear to be too much programming going on!

I simply have not been convinced that the necessary tools are available,
AND that the Mac can in fact do the things that Apples, IBM PCs, CP/M, etc.
have been doing so well (and in so many, many different ways) over the past
few years.  No way I can recode all the possible utilities and applications
available RIGHT NOW and owned RIGHT NOW by my users for a Mac -- and even if
I could -- what's the Mac gonna be compatible with?

Regards,
a contented CP/M /8-bit owner...
