On the other hand, Apple has made great price reductions on many of their computers last October. You can now buy a reasonably equipped Power Macintosh at about the same price as a PC that has about the same things. This makes the competition much harder.

Windows 3.x have been great improvements over the earlier versions of Windows, and of course over DOS, but it still didn't compete against the ease of use on a Mac. The Windows 95 interface is much better than Windows 3.x. It borrows some from the Macintosh interface and has improved on it.

Some improvements are the ability to work with folder icons that represent directories and subdirectories in DOS. Windows 95, unlike the Mac, logically groups data and resources. A Taskbar menu lets you call up and switch between any software application at any time. Thus feature is better than

things that run on Macs. It seems that the more people use PC's. I have met very few people with a Macintosh. I can bring many things from my computers to theirs and the other way around without worrying, "What if I need to find this for a Mac?"

So since now that the quality of computers are equal it is very hard to make your decision. For those that are not computer literate, the best thing to do is to go for the Mac because of the easiness involved in using one. This means you get less choice of programs in a store, and if you go online, many people will becusing something different from you so you have no idea what they are talking about. If you know how a computer is basically used, a Windows 95 PC will be no problem. It doesn't take that long to learn. You will have a bigger choice of programs and may be able to do more things with other people that have a

PC's at home, people can bring their work to and from school. If everyone had the same kind of computer on a network, students could go into the computers at schools all over the world to use programs there.

Even though Microsoft has made many wonderful changes to Windows, Apple is working on developing a new operation system, called Copland. It may beat many of the Windows 95 improvements. Apple is still deciding on what new things to add when the system will start shipping later in the year. Some new things may be a customizable user interface and features such as drawers, built-in indexing and automatically updated search templates to help users manger their hard drives much more effici
