when I bought a computer I made a concious decision to avoid the obvious virtues of a MAC because I was convinced that no one was going to write certain programs for it unless it gained a bigger market share...which it will never do if no one writes programs for it! I bought Beta VCR and learned my lesson!

(but now, I can't even get PalTalk for some reason///so......) Maybe ICQ, which DID make a cross platform version will jump in and do something...but owned by AOL...who knows
