RE: MATHCAD: Anyone Else Not Getting the Warm 'n' Fuzzies from PTC?

I agree. Seems to me I said the same thing Christopher said when I was a
diehard Apple guy, "Apple just keeps on getting better." way back in 1992,
and then, out of necessity, switched to PC. Doesn't seem like Apple ever
actually catches up...

Regrettably, I have relegated my Macs to primarily non-engineering
functions. I waited, hoping that there would be a port of a viable
structural software to a *NIX OS so that I could continue with Mac OS. Alas,
design standards march onward. I can no longer run Classic applications on
new machines.

Now I yearn for the Apple Look and Feel as I stumble around the horrendous
MS Office 2007 interface. Why can't I control printing email from Outlook
2007? Why does WinXP Pro literally seize up running the search indexer even
when I don't have anything listed to index? Why can't there be a PC Mini
format to compare with the Mac mini so that I don't have a huge tin box
on/around my desk?.

sigh ...
