Lappy Happy
So, I might get a non-Apple tomorrow (or soon). Can you think of a compelling reason to change my mind? Any idea how right clicking and stuff works on SoftPC or whatever the PC emulator is called? I found it ironic that switching to Intel made the PC emulator software stop working — although it makes sense and also makes the software’s chore somewhat hilarious: un-emulating what the Mac is emulating. Certainly too bad Microsoft now publishes that program. I think antitrust people should have stepped in and said that’s bad for business. There used to be two PC emulators on the Mac, correct? And then one, and now one owned by Microsoft. Apple could have made a play for that company to keep it away from Microsoft — but they may not have wanted Microsoft’s legal team hovering over them waiting for an excuse to pounce. As is, though, it does seem like development has slowed down and Microsoft has made development of that thing somewhere near 143,531st on its list of things to do. 143,530th is to send Judge Joe Jackson Christmas and birthday cards.
