h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

No-one interested at all?

<BB<

Having rewritten the A306839 Operating Systems a little while ago, I could easily take this the Mac vs PC on. Obviously, the main battle ground is now mobile devices, work patterns on the desktop, book/music publishing and school homework. The price problem hasn't shifted though!

I may also eliminate the car/bus analogy...

We're almost at the end of the month, and other than Phoenician Trader being tempted by Mac or PC, is no-one interested in these others?

The Mac or PC is seriously out of date, good intentions but would need a *lot* of work
