At the risk of pandering to a troll, what were/are the
alternatives?
The Mac /is/ an alternative, present tense. If you're using Windows, you're
just really a misguided Mac user nowadays.
I am not interesting in hearing about MS as having had
to deal with it
for 17 years, I've lived why it was a bad thing.
Unix - well fragmentation is the only thing I can think
of, which is
being mirrored in Linux these days.
UNIX is for masochists. I'll never get along with that system, it's so
unfriendly, it was perceived as unfriendly even back in the seventies. And it
will never conquer the desktop.
what alternative(s) was there?
AmigaOS, BeOS, TOS.
