RE>>Be a Macway EvangeList 8/15/96

Thus far, the tide seems to be flowing 4 to 1 against my post. I am
surprised. Aren't there any Macaddicts out there who will come to my defense?
Is using a Mac really "just a tool," as interchangeable with another computer
as a different brand of screwdriver.

That is a souless attitude, if you ask me.

irrelevant or did you think it appropriate? Thanks.<

Useless: Not because I have anything against Macs (used one for several years

with great enjoyment) but because I work as a tech writer, not a Mac
evangelist.

Irrelevant: All computers, regardless of platform, are simply tools, like
screwdrivers. "Evangelizing" for a particular form of screwdriver does not
enable me to do my work any better.
